Gustav Düsing launches new Spaceframe furniture
UK-based designer Gustav Düsing has launched a new series of furniture called Spaceframe furniture.
The new Spaceframe furniture range consist of a chair and coffee table. The chairs are planar and designed to be slotted into each other, being built using birch plywood, foam and fabric. The easy-to-package and assemble chairs do not require any glue or screws.
The stability to the model is rendered by means of an interlocking system, which, once fully assembled, cannot be dissembled again. The design of the chair is based on the natural form of a vertebrate, a central backbone element that defines the overall shape of the chair and branches out into a set of ribs that form the seat.
The legs of the chairs have been designed in a way that they distribute the load naturally. The legs have been reduced to trusses with tension and compression members.
The design of the coffee tables maps its inspiration to the space-frame-structures principles, which is commonly found in large-scale infrastructural buildings such as airports and railway-stations. The three-dimensional cross-bracing of the tables renders it stability.
The cross bracing can also be used as a diagonal shelving system. The table comes as both as a single unit as well as a multiplied version of two, four and more. Gustav Düsing has used birch plywood and glass tabletop to create the tables.
