*우퍼체어 [ Ministry of Design ] Woofer Chair_Saporiti Italia

공간을 가득메우는 중저음소리는
다시 공간을 채우는 파어버 글래스를 사용하여
볼륨감 있는 의자로 리뉴얼되었다.
음악과 청취자의 물리적 공간을 제거하여
몰입형 사운드 스케이프를 만들어 내는
우퍼 체어는 소리를 감싸 안는
공명공간의 구조프레임과
사람을 감싸 안는 파어버글래스의
인체공학적 형태의 만남으로
무형의 공간과 유형의 공간을
아름다운 곡선과 심플한 직선의
형태로 디자인 되었다.

An original and innovative chair, inspired by the form of a loudspeaker and coupled with technology that allows for sound waves to vibrate throughout the seat, consenting the user to hear and even to feel the audio spectrum, thanks to sophisticated sound actuators hidden inside the fibreglass structure of the chair.

The Woofer Chair eliminates the space between music and listener – creating a fully immersive soundscape. As a chair, a woofer, or the confluence of the two, the Woofer Chair’s subtle duality is captured in its form – a “driver” that produces sound encased in a “cabinet” – the soft ergonomic inner portion tightly stretched over the hard fibreglass outer shell. Its sheer size gives gravitas to the low bass resonances while the tapering of its sides to mere millimetres is a nod to the treble timbres. Beyond its precise clarity of form, the Woofer Chair can also be uniquely customized to capture a myriad of aesthetic preferences. The basic square canvas surrounding the centre seat is designed to be re-shaped and cladded, creating endless aesthetic iterations whilst maintaining the Woofer Chair’s fundamental design and structure.
