"X" BEAM SEATING




X BEAM SEAT

Project done in 2009 during my third year of studies as a competition for Cecil Nurse furniture, the beam seat is based on your typical airport and waiting seating. The concept derived from the ergonomics of the human anatomy, the aim to host the human body by covering as little as 30% of the body.

The aim to be viewed as if only seated on the beam structure, in trying to accompany for both male and female. This the "X" shape plays an important part taken from simplified shape through the bone structure of the body used while seated.

The materials is what would bring upon the simplicity and comfort, creating a more high end look compared to the standard waiting area beam seating. This all metal elements such as arm rests as well the beam support to be chromed high polished, with piped upholstered white leather to introduce a ribbed cushioning.

Consisting of minimal components and fairly standardised workability has been taken into consideration for manufacturing and production of the X shaped Beam Seat.
