We check in with Eindhoven-based Bogaerts Label to hear more about the Siren Chair designed by Jacob Nitz.
For this installment of Deconstruction, we check in with Eindhoven-based Bogaerts Label to hear more about the Siren Chair designed by Jacob Nitz. The silhouette may seem simple and fairly minimalist but the complex design went through an extensive design process, one that’s still going on as they continue to explore new versions for the future. Here, Bogaerts Label takes us through all the stages that resulted in this colorful workplace staple.
The Siren chair got its name, literally, from a siren of an ambulance that was in front of Jacob Nitz’s house in Chicago when he was making the first design sketches of his Siren chair.
Jacob wanted to have a continuous line as a framework which would embrace the seating. To enhance this design aspect he didn?t want any exposed fasteners.
The first draft of the Siren chair. We chose to do double sided seating so we could play with more colors and contrast to give Siren that extra distinguished touch.
When we were working on the details of Siren we started to think about functionality and how to present this to the market. What else could we do with this design approach to create a family of Siren products"
Determining our goals for Siren we decided that the chair should be stackable. Not only would this be perfect for users in office spaces, but also for shipping. This way we could send out chairs...
