sierra

regional product design

2021

Inspired by the landscape of the Philippines, this lounge chair uses Rattan as its main material to imitate the mountainous regions of the country. The velvet cushions then represent the greeneries of the mountains. 

The Sierra lounge chair only aims to imitate two things; the mountains of the country being said, and its power in connecting people of different ethnicities as well as its historical significance on our identity.

Just as different provinces - that have different people - sit, connect, and thrive on a single mountain range, the Sierra lounge chair also connects people from different walks of life, albeit temporary. Giving the possibility of meeting a stranger and  knowing their story through sitting in this chair.

This lounge chair encapsulates the creativity, ingenuity, and adaptability of Filipino wood workers and craftsmen in Region 4-A , combining art and design through this work.

 

materials: rattan, velvet fabric, stainless steel frame
