This “Posi+ive Lounge Chair” was designed by Jittasak Narknisorn and become the winner on one good chair design competition. This Posi+ive Lounge Chair comes with the idea that a design simple enough to be modeled using a piece of paper would be easy to make in an industrial system. The seat is made out of a single piece of bent plywood covered by a cushion of wool felt, resting on a single round steel bar that wraps around the chair to form arm rests.

I started by finding a way to form a nice clean and comfortable shape with a piece of paper. Because I believe if I can do it in a simple way, it will be easy to make in an industrial system. This design is minimize waste material and allowed the plywood to form curves and bend in more directions to create a nice shape with more ergonomic support.

The legs are one steel round bar. They continue upwards to make armrests for more comfort. The two back legs are positioned to make the chair stackable by taking advantage of the cuts through the seat. The cushion is made from wool felt fabric. It is the same shape as the seat (rectangular with plus shapes cut through) so it also has minimal waste.
