Papasan Chair
Project description
Here is astory of one of our team member about this render 🙂
It was loooong time ago in early beginning of our team.
I was modeling interior and was looking for a model of the chair that will be looking soft and light! My friend showed me this one chair and i was really impressed how it looks like!!! 🙂
So I decided to spend some time and create this model! That was interesting job!
Due the work process i read a lot about it’s story (you can find it below).
To create it was used 3ds max, Marvelous designer studio, z-brush.
Сhair frame usually makes from rattan. And that’s unbelievable that rattan can be 300 meters length!!!
As i promised here is the story of this chair! 🙂
Short story of the Papasan Chair.
The papasan chair was introduced to the western world in the 1950’s previously having been the preserve of the far eastern nations such as Indonesia, Thailand and Japan. Its sturdy construction of rattan cane which grows naturally and in abundance in those tropical climates, is formed into 2 parts; a round bowl or dish shaped seat and a truncated cone shaped base to support it. These two adjustable elements enables the chair to be positioned at any angle of choice thus ensuring maximum comfort. Papasan frames can also be made of bamboo cane, wicker or wood, indeed any material that can be formed into the two parts. Over the years the papasan chair has gone by many a name including bowl chair, moon chair, bucket chair, roundabout chair, jackanory chair and even just big round chair however they all refer to the bowl shaped construction of the rattan chair that is the papasan chair.
