MOLN

Furniture Design

Kansas State University

Alejandra Giron & Lance Ornelas

Tasked with designing & building a set of chairs that follows Bolia’s design language, MOLN is a Scandinavian collection that explores how proportion can translate across different seating types. The design aims to enhance the ambiance of modern living spaces, expressing warmth and simplicity.

Bolia strives for the perfect combination of aesthetics and function that inspire everyday lives. The prompt was to work in teams to design and fabricate a set of seating elements that emulate their product catalogue.

How can we evoke comfort through form, color, and material?

A seating buck test was conducted to evaluate the intended posture, dimensions, and proportions by having classmates of varying heights sit in the prototype. Observing how different users interacted with the chair helped identify adjustments to better accommodate a wider range of people.
