problem
When we are seated we have a tendency to bend our back incorrectly.
I noticed this firsthand during my study sessions, which led me to suffer from back pain. So I asked myself if I could find a solution to my discomfort.
SOLUTION
I noticed that the back straightens naturally while tilting forward with a chair.
Using this principle I started designing a chair around an axe to recreate the movement in a controlled way.
I involved in my project experts like posturologists and physiotherapists to study the potential of the idea and receiving their support. In the end my idea took the shape of a bell "campana" in italian so I decided to name it Kampana.
Kampana is indeed an active stool able to rotate and tilt allowing our back to move correctly to get a better posture while sitting at your desk or in any other situation.
RESIN VERSION
The absolutely first version started from a big piece of wood. I got help from an incredible wood artisan that made the first model in wood in order to obtain a resin mold. Then I created the first resin copy with a clapper made of steel, a sphere made of rubber and the pillow.
CARDBOARD VERSION
Cardboard is a very interesting material. We combined it with a wood structure and we rotated the cardboard layers to create a spiral effect.
STEEL VERSION
Starting from a single steel tube we shaped it with Kampana lines. The result is a solid, super light and stackable structure with the cushion on top.
WOOD VERSION
Inspired by the art of the japanese joinery we created a demountable version with 4 pieces and no glue for an easy transport and storage.
Would you know where to find Kampana?
