Amalia od Studia Eggpicnic
Korištenje šiblja za izradu korisnih svakodnevnih predmeta je tradicionalno zanimanje stanovnika u čileanskom gradu Chimbarongo od početka veka. Državna ekonomija je osetila pad kada se manje ljudi interesovalo za rad s ovom mršavinom materijala, tako je studio Eggpicnic u Santiago-u odlučio da je vreme da se ponovo da žarište ovoj maloj industriji. Projektovanjem Amalia sedeće jedinice, kreativni studio hrani potrebu za nastavak ove lepe tradicije, ali proizvođači gledaju više zapanjujući rezultat. Zanatska tradicija isprepletana s modernim dizajnom stvara konstruktivan način da prenese ovu modernu revitalizaciju na iznenađujući dizajna sedala.Using mimbre (wicker) to create useful everyday objects has been a traditional occupation of dwellers in Chilean city of Chimbarongo since the beginning of the century. The growing local economy has seen a decrease when fewer people were interested in working with this lean material, so Santiago-based Studio Eggpicnic decided it was time to recreate a focal point on this small industry. Designing the Amalia seating unit, the creative studio feeds the need for continuing this beautiful tradition, but inspired craftsmen to look into a more contemporary outcome. Artisanal tradition was intertwined with modern design to create a constructive method of transposing this modern revitalization in a surprising seat design.
