Parchís Chair
︎︎︎ Product Design

Twenty-eight years ago, all the students of Elisava's first course designed and built their first chairs. and this project became an event in the heart of Barcelona, Las Ramblas. The place where all the students exhibit their chairs distributed in a certain order.

In this project I wanted to represent the stability of a wooden chair, giving it a dynamic counterpoint based on the three primary colours in their laces. To do this, I made a study of all the rules to be followed and the ergonomics of the standard measurements of the human body. Starting with many sketches, but quickly experimenting with models made of microflute cardboard. These first models evolved until they reached the final result made from the established wood.

A chair of straight and stable forms with a dynamic counterpoint in the colours reminiscent of parcheesi, hence its name. As if they were three parcheesi pieces on a game board.
