Sinuous

1996 "Joung & Design" Milan, Italy

Sinuous, chair in curved wood.

"Sinuous chair" Realized in wood of balsa, bent and modeled in special form, glued and pressed, the staircase of the model is of 1:5.
The particular characteristic of this session is its form sinusoidale, (from which derives the name "Sinuous") constituted by an only vertical piece ideally thought in multistrato of bent beech tree and from a seat that you/he/she can be dressed again imbottitoe; this for his/her particular form in plant remembers the human eye.
Joints of connection:
A steel plate or in metallic league of meeting place thickness to form of y, screwed under and above to the wood parts it increases the stability.
This constructive detail over how decorative, it creates with the hollow of the seat a comfortable taking for the hand for the move of the chair.
