Igual a como se produce un rompe cabezas, las piezas son cortadas de una superficie plana sin perder espacio entre las mismas.
Para producir la silla sólo se necesitan dos operaciones: trazar las líneas de corte por medio de un archivo CAD y cortar cada pieza con precisión milimétrica utilizando una máquina router CNC.
Optimicé el diseño de la silla y sus piezas sobre una superficie plana para producir dos sillas con sólo una placa de madera contrachapada, reduciendo la cantidad de residuos generados a un 4.5% por silla.
La silla 'Chair with cross base' está patentada por la United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) bajo el número de patente D1125880.
The project started in school during a course on furniture design. My mentor was Juan Baixas, a chilean architect and author of the Puzzle Chair (1975).
For him a chair has to resist both the weight of a person sitting on it and, in a metaphorical sense, the gaze of a person admiring it.
I started experimenting with small cardboard models and gave shape to the chair through the intersection of planes. This was followed by an iterative process, in which I made different miniature models of the chair before moving to a full scale model.
Inspired by the Red Blue Chair by Gerrit Rietveld (1917), I designed the chair with cross base to be of similar dimensions and angles.
The first prototype was produced in Miami using computer aided manufacturing and a CNC router. With this technology it is possible to cut a variety of materials that come in a composite sheet format.
