Pandanus Lounge Chair by Jessica Konawicz

Pandanus Chair

Jessica Konawicz’s Pandanus Chair is made from a cellulose-based plastic that is biodegradable and can be produced through a low energy manufacturing process. Her inspiration came from the spiraling leaves and colorful fruit of Padanus tree, which lends her design an easily stackable structure and a funky array of colors.


















Jessica Konawicz
I aimed to design a lounge chair that is unique and beautiful, made of a single material that is renewable and biodegradable, is easily and efficiently manufactured, addresses the way people relax, and utilizes stacking for transportation.

Pandanus’s name and form were inspired by the leaves and fruit of the Pandanus Tree. The spirals created by the leaves reminded me of chairs stacked on top of one another. The fruit looks like little pods, which are curvaceous and colorful. By tracing over the fruit I found the most intriguing shapes.















The challenge was to turn one shape into a form, which would be relaxing for a person to sit on. This lounge chair is not intended to fall asleep in rather for actively relaxing, meaning the user would be engaged in some activity like reading, listening to music, or having coffee with friends

The chair boasts strong clean lines - literally - for the seating area and backrest are series of taut strings. The two groups of strings neatly interlock at the junction of the seating area and the backrest much like the warp and weft of looms. Via : Design Milk, The String Chair

Assymetrical Chairs

Figured cherry veneers and solids, figured anigre veneers, wenge, stainless steel rope, aluminium "These are some of my favorite chairs, and are as comfortable as they are whimsical. The stainless steel rope cradles the small of the back, even though it looks like it might cut you like an egg slicer. My engineer friend Keith Komline helped me figure out how to attach the stainless to the seats."
