Addi – Open Design Chair

Construction close ups:

• Assembly: Study the pictures above (click to enlarge) to see how the individual parts are assembled. Detailed information about all the parts can be found below in the Trikka info.
  You can use thin but strong material for the slats or make thicker legs. If you have thin material, you should use a longer cross beam (270mm). For thick legs we recommend the 210mm beam.
• Fasteners (style): We mainly used fasteners we had in the workshop for these functional prototypes. A final aesthetic and production ready design would probably add some work here to find elegant and cheap solutions.
• Fasteners (length): Since Trikka has a material tolerance and there is a lot of material stacked on top of each other here, it is clear that you first have to decide which material you are going to use before you buy your fasteners – the length of the bolts.
• If your chair feels wobbly you can also add another cross beam in the front close to the bottom. (An example for this you can see at the bottom of this post).
• Usually chairs have a curved backrest and a butt pattern in the seat to make it more comfortable to sit on. When you make Addi, you can achieve this too. For example, you can use thicker sheet material and mill curves into it (see picture below). You will still have a flat side at the bottom, of the part – so the part will also work in other Trikka designs.

Update: When Addi was transferred to the Trikka page some building instructions where rewritten for clarity and others were added.

Trikka parts

• Addi was added as part of Ikego’s initial 44. We use it to introduce a lot of new parts to the catalog at once. All of these parts have other uses. But we introduce them through Addi. All the parts of Addi are shared here. The only exception is No 10 in this post which is introduced via Bengi.
