Mattiazzi: Heart Mind Soul, 48 58

Brrrrrring brrrrrrring...
ANON: Good morning, Foster and Partners
KIM: Hello. Mike Holland, please.
ANON: One moment...
MIKE: Hello, this is Mike.
KIM: Hi Mike. I’d like to ask some quick questions about Leva.
Your answers can be very brief and informal.
MIKE: OK, I’ll try for that.
KIM: Leva seems to be about finessing a very simple round
wooden dowel that widens and flattens to become the chair’s
backrest. What is the reason for this?
MIKE: The chair started with the idea of a simple line – we
weren’t really consciously designing it. We created an ergonomic
rig where we could keep adjusting the sides and the back.
We then just kept inviting people to sit in it, studying how each
person sat, while we made constant adjustments. We allowed the
chair to develop through conversations and discoveries around
the rig. People explored the inclination on the armrest and the
curve on the back, discovering how they could move and adopt
different positions.
Quite quickly the idea of the arm growing into something
more supportive started to take on more of the form of an oar,
which was interesting because an oar is trying to do more with
less. It’s a very direct implement or tool and there is a beauty in
this directness.
KIM: That’s great, you kind of answered two things in one...
but also what would you say is Leva’s character in a room?
