X2Chair: The Multifunctional and Sustainable ArmchairA Sensory Seat Designed by Giorgio Caporaso
Everytime I watch this chair - or chaise longue as you want it - I see an imaginary hand which draws lines and harmonizes them. Sense contains passion because X2Chair is a deeply intimate object, a relaxing place for us and our beloved objects.
The X2Chair, designed by Giorgio Caporaso, is a truly unique and innovative piece of furniture. Its sinuous forms and choice of materials enhance its capacity for versatility and sustainability. This chair is part of the "Giorgio Caporaso Ecodesign Collection" and is designed to have many functions and adapt to all needs, making it a perfect addition to any interior.
One of the key features of the X2Chair is its convertibility. It can be an armchair, a luxurious chaise longue, or even a comfortable sofa for multiple seating. The possibilities are endless, allowing for total customization. The chair's empty rounded compartments not only add to its aesthetic appeal but also provide storage space for personal belongings.
What sets the X2Chair apart is its eco-friendly design. It can be made from materials such as cardboard, varnished wood for outdoor use, and other sustainable options currently being tested. The chair is produced using a simple technology that minimizes its environmental impact. Its components can be easily separated, stocked, and transported, making it a practical and sustainable choice.
The X2Chair was designed with the concept of Cradle to Cradle (C2C) in mind. The aim was to create a multifunctional product that is easy to use, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly. The careful functional study, combined with research on materials and eco-friendly construction methods, resulted in a chair that not only looks elegant but also contributes to a better quality of life.
In recognition of its outstanding design and ingenuity, the X2Chair was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2014. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills and contribute to improvements in quality of life.
The X2Chair is not just a piece of furniture; it is a work of art that combines form, function, and sustainability. With its versatility, eco-friendly design, and aesthetic appeal, it is a perfect choice for those who appreciate innovative and conscious design.
