Crosses seating, by Annabella Hevesi
Product designer Annabella Hevesi prototyped this uncommon Crosses chair.
Slightly than historically tufting the upholstery, she’s experimenting with the next method:
“The motivation for designing this assortment was to attempt a brand new mechanical joint answer that enables a brand new strategy to shaping the consolation foam. Initially, within the upholstery furnishings business the consolation foam is formed by slicing or casting it: the primary ends in lots of waste and has limits of form, and the second is extraordinarily costly and thus solely appropriate for high-volume manufacturing.”
“The brand new joint answer’s level is that we have now some exterior instruments (steel parts are produced by additive know-how) that distort and press the froth to succeed in its ultimate form. This technique reduces waste and makes a mechanical connection among the many parts as a substitute of gluing.”
That is only a temporary excerpt of Hevesi’s notes; she’s written extra of a manifesto on the topic which you can learn right here.
Hevesi and accomplice Gábor Bella make up the Budapest-based design duo generally known as Line and Spherical.
