Our Albert chair, designed for Colombian manufacturer Kassani Studio, has been chosen as the Best Furniture Design by the international 2021 CLAP Awards, that recognize projects from countries such as Spain, Portugal, Latin America, Brazil, and the United States.
Commissioned by Kassani, a specialist in interior design and furniture for educational and training spaces, Albert strictly complies with the technical specifications required for projects by the Colombian National Training Service (SENA).
Kassani required a new universal chair range for educational environments. A solution that is robust, efficient and light enough to adapt to active teaching processes in which participation, creativity, collaboration and the use of technology are, and will, continue to be of the utmost importance.
User comfort is at the heart of this project, in line with our brand’s philosophy. To this end, both European and Colombian ergonomic regulations have been meticulously studied to strike a balance between safety criteria and the applicable percentiles, in terms of the height and physical characteristics of the people who will be using the chairs. We have defined three different sizes for Albert, so it can accompany students from infancy to University.
Albert’s wide range of customisation options means that it can respond to all the needs of learning environments in a transversal manner. The accessories and combination possibilities are almost infinite: castors, lower shelves, cantilever and tablet arms are just some of the options available. Albert’s stool version provides solutions for laboratories and research spaces.
The CLAP Awards focus on Industrial Design and Graphic Design and they have the support of the most relevant design and designer associations from all over the American continent. And they give professionals and companies the chance to measure their project with those of other colleagues based in the same markets.
These awards are coordinated by Veredictas Internacional, an agency specialized in excellence standards, and it is an honor for everyone in Alegre Design that our Albert chair has been chosen as the recipient of this award.
We are specialists in design and engineering solutions for educational spaces. Another two of our designs focused on education have both received European accolades.
Albert is one of our latest projects and the first that we have developed together with Kassani. It is a chair that has been designed from a global perspective, but which also adheres precisely to the technical specifications required by the Colombian educational sector.
Albert is a 360º high- performance chair created from the injection of thermoplastic that incorporates a metal exoskeleton to strengthen the adjustment of the plastic sheet to the human body. It makes sitting in any position comfortable because comfort and well-being are the leitmotiv of its design.
It is a robust, efficient, and adequately light solution that adapts to the active processes of teaching where participation, creativity, collaboration, and the use of technology are all key.
