Plastic, stackable chairs are a common experience in modern people’s lives. They’re seen everywhere, from little alleys and restaurants to the mahjong table. They are also a superb example of the practicality and convenience that industrial production brings.
The PINCH is a unibody, complete stackable plastic chair. It starts with the prototype of the traditional stackable chair, then adds a new form factor to make it a better match for modern architecture and design.
The unibody design of the industrial age is a prime feature of plastic manufactured goods. This means there’s no need to assemble anything, which not only implies lower cost but also gives a sense of durability. We offer a new interpretation of the traditional plastic chair’s structural unibody logic, imagining how simple “pinching” and “pulling” can transform a plastic sheet into a complete chair. The result is the PINCH chair’s unity of form, and gives the chair a visual design that is highly intuitive and dynamic.
Through the PINCH chair, we have created a new interpretation of the modern stackable chair; and further, we open the imagination to expansive, shared, fun use cases.
塑膠堆疊椅廣泛地存在於當代人的生活記憶之中,從巷弄、餐館到麻將桌處處可見,也充分體現工業生產帶來的實用與便捷。
PINCH是一張一體成型的塑膠堆疊椅,以傳統的塑膠椅為原型,試著用新的外觀概念呈現,使之更符合現代的建築及地景。
在工業時代「一體成形」是塑料製品的特色之一,少了組裝的程序不僅意味著快速地生產也給人們耐用的印象。在PINCH的設計上,我們重新解構傳統塑膠椅「一體成形」的邏輯,並想像塑膠片在簡單的「捏」與「拉」之間,形成一張椅子,展現PINCH的「一體性」也賦予它更直觀且動態的視覺感受。
藉由PINCH chair,我們重新詮釋當代塑料堆疊椅,並以此想像了一個開放、共享且有趣的使用場景
