X-Frame,
Sustainable Furniture Concept.
project type.
Furniture Design
In collaboration with another creative, this project was part of an entry into a furniture
manufacturer’s design competition. The brief was to produce a sustainable design for
a piece of seating and/or table products. The X-Frame concept was curated around a
cross supporting bracing system that could allow for each component to be removed with
small discreet fixings that hold each element together. All of the materials have minimal
impact on the environment and are fully recyclable. FSC rated Ash for the timber elements,
Recycled Steel for the metal components and recycled waste plastic for the moulded plastic
components. The longevity of this product should be timeless, and should metalwork need
to be re issued the current components can be re finished or recycled into another product
should the chair be discarded.
This flexible solution has therefore been built around a family of products that ensure the
user has open capacity to change any failing elements over time, this range of chairs and
tables can be supplied with a spares pack, and any failed components or just requiring
a refurbish can be issued back to the factory for restoration. The target market should be
variable, with endless design possibilities and simple maintenance should appeal to all
commercial sectors, especially Workplace and Hospitality environments with high traffic
and a requirement for versatile products.
