birth of the Onion Chair

The main inspiration for our chair was actually Kenneth Cobonpue's Yoda chair (below), because aside from the fact that it blends with our whole Nature-concept (read about the exhibit here), it literally looks like grass popping out of the ground. coolness!

Sketching

we took a lot of time figuring out what we really wanted for our furniture. this was actually sketched in NCTEX 2 hours before looking for potential suppliers... and after talking to many, thank God we found one that doesn't require us to pay a fortune, and was confident to assure us it would finish production in less than three weeks!

The Framing

 

i wasn't really sure how the chair would look like (that time), cos i find the framing too large at a 60cm diameter. so i placed it in front of a table and thought, hey, it doesn't look that bad... and remembered the reason we did a 60cm is because its not ONLY meant as a dining chair, but as an accent lounge chair as well :)

with rattan weaving...

painted in citron color...

Finished Product... say hi to our Onion Chair :)

i'm really happy with the result! *beams* it was for me, a MAKE or BREAK piece in our booth cos i had no idea it would look this nice :) (considering the limited time of designing and production :) and if you happen to drop by the exhibit, or is interested with this chair, we're actually selling it :)
