EDGE Chair Chair
EDGE Chair Chair is an innovative aluminum seating solution that exemplifies minimalist design principles while maintaining exceptional functionality and ergonomic comfort. Created by designer Petr Novague, this chair represents a harmonious blend of origami-inspired aesthetics and industrial practicality. The design process, which spanned from 2011 to 2012, involved comprehensive analysis of seating habits and extensive user experience feedback, culminating in a refined product that seamlessly merges form with function. The chair is crafted from 3mm thick aluminum plates, utilizing a sophisticated production process that includes laser cutting, precise bending according to technical specifications, and robotic welding, followed by a durable powder coating finish available in various RAL colors. Measuring 650mm x 550mm x 850mm and weighing just 6.1 kg, the chair achieves a remarkable balance between durability and lightweight construction. Its distinctive geometric form, characterized by carefully calculated angular planes, not only creates a striking visual statement but also enables practical stackability for efficient storage. The design underwent rigorous stress testing and quality control measures to ensure its suitability for both public and private settings, meeting all necessary furniture industry standards. This exceptional design earned recognition through the Silver A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, acknowledging its innovative approach to materials, ergonomic excellence, and aesthetic achievement. The chair's development involved creating twenty prototypes to optimize maximum load capacity, with final testing conducted in specialized furniture laboratories to verify compliance with public seating norms.
