The Boximalchair embodies the concepts of sustainability and timelessness. Its simple and transparent form not only meets everyday needs but also evokes a sense of eternity in design. The geometry of the chair, inspired by the architecture of Vahid Joodi Studio, emphasizes serene and timeless lines, suggesting that it is crafted for more than just the present moment. It reflects principles that find beauty in clarity and simplicity while exploring complexity in the meaningful interplay between its components. The design resonates with the deeper manifestos of modernism, going beyond mere functionalism to prioritize transparency, simplification of form, and a redefined relationship between humans and space.
Modernism in this piece is reinterpreted as a concept of “endurance in simplicity.” Each element—whether the sturdy metal frame or the soft backrest covering—mirrors a human experience that is ever-evolving. This chair is designed not merely for sitting but also for observing the world, pausing, and experiencing a connection between the individual and the surrounding space. By stripping away historical ornamentation and relying on material honesty, the chair emphasizes liberation from the past and a re-examination of traditional design values. The flat planes and engineered structure achieve a form of “structural transparency” where nothing is hidden from the user’s view. This transparency not only reflects modernist methodology but also fosters a sense of honesty and trust in the user.
This product also underscores the concept of democratic design—an idea that links modernism to creating designs accessible to all. Simplifying the production process and utilizing modular elements not only facilitates mass production but also makes the product more attainable for the public. The soft backrest, with its gentle contrast to the metal frame, symbolizes the relationship between humans and space—a relationship modernism defines as an evolutionary and dynamic experience. This design creates an intersubjective space where the user and the object interact, finding meaning and value through this engagement.
Adopting a minimalist approach and material honesty, the Boximal chair invites a return to essentials, to a simpler life, and to a deeper understanding of the surrounding environment. Every component of this chair tells a story of thought, emotion, and interaction—a story that remains fresh and novel as time passes.
This chair is not just a product but a response to fundamental modernist questions: How can we create the greatest impact with the fewest elements? How can we make design more human, honest, and meaningful?
