Jacobsen | Molded Shell: Minimalism Formed from a Single Sheet

The seat and back of a dining chair are made from a single thin piece of plywood, formed by bi-directional molding. The middle section narrows to form a waist, and the upper end flares outwards, with the overall silhouette resembling an abstract human figure or insect. The board thickness is only 9mm, and the edges show the natural laminated cross-section, without edge banding. Underneath are three or four slender chrome-plated steel tube legs, fixed to the underside of the shell with a small star-shaped base. The shell surface is finished with clear lacquer over light wood veneer, or entirely sprayed with a single low-saturation color. Pure white background, one front view and one side view, emphasizing the silhouette. Avoid: seat and back separated into two pieces, edge banding, thick legs or wooden legs, soft cushions added to the shell.

一張餐椅的座面與椅背是同一片薄的膠合板,經過雙向壓模成型,中段收窄形成腰部,上端向兩側外張,整體輪廓像一個抽象的人形或昆蟲。板的厚度只有 9mm,邊緣是自然的層積斷面,不封邊。底下是三或四支細的鍍鉻鋼管腳,以一個小的星形座固定在殼體底面。殼的表面是淺色木皮的清漆,或整片噴成單一的低彩度顏色。純白背景,正面與側面各一,呈現輪廓。避免:座背分成兩件、邊緣封邊、腳做粗或使用木質、殼體加入軟墊。
