The purpose of the soft chair is to create an object that give the sensation to sink in an hole sitting on it. We used leather and EPS plastic balls as a soft filling. The shape is an experiment of parametric design, meshing a complex form to achieve an easier way to stitch it. Every triangle is different from the others and the pieces are cutted with a numerical control machine.
Sink chair is an ongoing experiment of digital manufacturing which focuses on fabrication and assembly of researched design outputs using our CNC cutting machines. The chair is an example of optimization in materials and costs using computational techniques. the chair is reversible and made of cardboard, foam and leather.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
