Ida
Ida embodies a unique design through an elegant and timeless aesthetic, focusing on simplicity, ergonomics, materials and modern craftsmanship. It showcases how prosumer products like Do-It-Yourself furniture can be intelligent, sophisticated, functional and, most importantly, sustainable. The chair can be customized and ordered online, ready to assemble or locally made by anyone using a web platform and digital fabrication technologies. The result is a versatile chair with a single sustainably sourced material and a few parts assembled in seven easy steps without nails, screws or glue.
Ida Chair by Jairo da Costa Junior was highlighted as an outstanding example of industrial design by the A' Design Awards. Ida Chair won the Bronze A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2023. The A' Furniture Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design competition which recognizes exceptional design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
