The 120

Jan. 2024 - Mar. 2024

The 120 is the first furniture piece that I designed and built. It’s not your normal recliner chair—it features adjustable angles and interchangeable colors, making it versatile for various environments, whether it’s a cozy reading nook, a relaxed living space, or a professional setting. The design adapts to the user’s needs, enhancing comfort and usability while maintaining a sleek and modern aesthetic.

Dual cusion system

Color change

The cushions are designed so that they fit seamlessly inside the rib of the frame. Unlike most chairs, these cushions are removable - they can be pulled up from its position, flipped, and pushed back in.

The color of each side was chosen purposefully to be on the opposite side of the color wheel (green and orange are not opposite, but close enough) so that the same chair can give off a different look based on the user's preference.

Reclining angle adjustment

Along with the color, each side of the cushion has different angles. The green sides are both flat, while the orange sides have a 5 degree angle for the seat and a 15 degree angle for the backrest. This lets the user change the reclining angle from 100 degrees to 140 degrees.

Sketches

CAD

During the design process, 4 major CAD models (alongside with versions with minor changes) and 6 mockups were made, each iteration slightly modified after user testing.

The showcase was a big success - the final products of this class resulted in a continuation of the class in the following quarter and year.
