Trica is a lounge chair inspired by the many shapes of the bird-of-paradise plant. Trica's primary form reflects the triagonal shape of the plant, focusing on comfort while taking a contemporary approach. The upholstered seat has been redesigned to fit the ergonomics of the user. Trica also features an extendable footrest as an additional function. The chair sits low and broad, hovering just over the ground and ideal for relaxing. Trica has an urban feel thanks to its geometrical overlapping back structure and solid bent legs. The curves on the seat's structure are ergonomically developed to provide a comfortable visual balance. The user's posture is supported by the backrest, while the seat provides optimal comfort for lounging. The cushion may be customized with a variety of colours and materials to fit into a range of interiors and reflect personal style. As a result, it can be used in common interior areas. Trica can be used in both living spaces and offices thanks to its reinterpretation of the traditional lounge chair structure. Trica is proportioned to provide a comfortable lounge whether working with a laptop or just taking a break to rest, with a residential sensibility. Curves and geometrical structures are combined in this chair. The goal is not only to construct a one-of-a-kind design, but also to create a style that is more fitting for modern living spaces.
