(2012)

Captain’s Chair is a chair suitable for all kinds of contemporary environments, residential or contract, like public spaces, private homes, indoors, outdoors. It owes its name to the shell shape of the yacht helm chairs with the result of a great seating comfort. It is made out of a glass fiber fabric and acrylic resin, with a steel structure. The matching-felt-cushion clicks into place automatically without requiring any fastening system. It comes in three different models: sliding chair with a sled base, paw chair with adjustable feet and rolling chair on castors.

Design

Metrica elicits the process of design that must face constraints and incentives imposed by manufacturing process, the market and the client. All the projects are scheduled according to Gantt shared with the clients and based on the development of two phases.

The product concept phase produces mood boards, iconographic research and marketing analysis to challenge the company’s brief and to suggest the design outlines.

The design concept phase includes design routes and sketches, design development supported by renders and 3D design, and the final design supported by technical drawings.
