DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Pinch

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Chair

INSPIRATION:
Plastic chairs are a common experience in modern people’s lives. They are also a superb example of the practicality and convenience that industrial production brings. The Pinch Chair starts with the prototype of the traditional plastic chair, then adds a new form factor to make it a better match for modern architecture and design. The chair was designed using a unibody logic, imagining the plastic sheet transforming into a complete chair with simple pinching and pulling moves.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Pinch Chair is a modern interpretation of the traditional plastic chair, molded in one piece with a sleek and contemporary design that complements modern architecture and landscapes. It is stackable for easy storage and can be flipped over onto a table to facilitate cleaning of floors by restaurant staff. This creates a seamless and harmonious appearance, with a visually dynamic and intuitive design that is both stylish and practical.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
The Pinch Chair design allows for stacking during storage and stable placement on a dining table when flipped upside down, which is convenient for restaurant staff to clean the floor when closing.

The project started in January 2021 in Taiwan and finished in May 2021 in taiwan.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Medium2 Studio have observed that many restaurants prefer using plastic chairs for cleaning and maintenance purposes. During our interviews with restaurant owners, Medium2 Studio noticed that they had some common expectations and requirements for plastic chairs. Apart from being stackable for storage convenience, they wanted chairs that could be temporarily lifted off the ground, so that they could clean the floor and put the chairs back without having to clear an entire area of chairs. Finally, they had higher expectations for the design of plastic chairs, hoping that they could enhance or complement the interior decoration of their establishments. Based on these findings, Medium2 Studio have designed the Pinch Chair.

CHALLENGE:
Designing a chair that satisfies both practical needs and modern aesthetic while also being stackable and easy to clean the floor, requires finding the perfect balance between form and function, which can be a challenging process.
