Musician Chair

This compact, stackable chair features a forward-leaning structure that accommodates natural playing posture. The design choice for three legs provides stability while ensuring that the legs don't obstruct the musician’s movement. Its visual language is elegant and flowing, yet intentionally subdued and abstracted, allowing the focus to remain on the music rather than the chair.

Poplar Veneer, Steel Tube

As a string player myself, I’ve noticed that musicians often need to lean forward for focus and rely on their legs for additional support while playing. Most chairs are designed for back-leaning relaxation, which leads to poor posture during music instrument practice. In orchestra performances, standard stackable chairs are commonly used, but they aren't designed for the proper posture musicians need. Additionally, these large chairs are difficult to move around on a crowded stage, where space is limited due to the presence of many musicians and music stands.

My intension is to design a forward-leaning, compact and stackable chair for musicians.

Its forward-tilted angle and three legs offer enhanced support and control for the musician's body during practice and performances.

Made from laminated wood veneers and steel tubes, connected with threaded inserts. Designed for longevity and easy disassembly. Allows for individual parts to be replaced, encouraging repair and reuse.

The use of sustainable and recyclable materials helps minimize the environmental impact.

Its compact size and stackability make it versatile for various settings, including orchestra performances.
