Dooal
The Dooal chair reimagines the classic rocking chair through the transformative power of an interrupted loop. Inspired by everyday architectural shapes specifically interruptions, fragmentation, balance, and manipulation the design translates these observations into the chair's playful form and aesthetics, using the traditional rocking chair as a historical precedent. A single, cleverly intersected loop replaces separate legs and other components, creating a dynamic sculptural profile. This interruption generates visual tension, defining the loop's segments as the seat, leg rest, and back support. The playful aesthetics invite users to experience the unique rocking motion and explore the chair's sculptural form. While retaining the soothing rocking motion, the Dooal embraces a sleek, modernist aesthetic. Ergonomic curves enhance comfort and the gentle rocking experience, demonstrating the harmonious relationship between form and function. Crafted from recycled high-density polyethylene and aluminum, the Dooal showcases how a simple design gesture can create a remarkable, functional, eco-friendly, and playful piece. Bridging classic inspiration and contemporary living, it offers a modern take on a familiar form. This striking, sustainable chair proves the power of design innovation, balancing contemporary style, comfort, and environmental consciousness.
