澳大利亚设计师Tom Fereday设计了一款小型餐椅，它带有可调节角度的弧形靠背，椅子设计的灵感来源于老式工业椅子。

这把椅子名为“Sia”，在印地语中的意思是“运动”。椅子靠背的角度会随着身体的不同姿势而改变，它的名子因此而来。

Australian designer Tom Fereday has created a minimal dining chair with an adjustable curved backrest, which he based on seating found in old factories.
Called Sia, meaning movement in Hindi, the chair is named after its adjustable backrest that tilts to follow the body's form.

Fereday告诉Dezeen的记者：“餐饮空间的布置往往是一件非常棘手的事情，我想设计一个超薄的餐椅，在任何地方都方便使用，我的设计并没有牺牲物品的美观性和舒适性。它适用于绝大多数家庭，即使在一个餐桌周围放上十把这样的椅子，也不会感觉到拥挤。”

他继续说：“我给自己设定的要求是设计一把简单舒适的椅子，通常来说，简单的椅子往往牺牲了舒适性，我这把带有铰链靠背的椅子就避免了上述问题。”

"The dining space is often tricky in terms of space available," Fereday told Dezeen. "I wanted to develop a slim dining chair that would be accessible to anyone no matter where they lived, but didn't compromise on the luxury and comfort of dining; something that could fit in anyone's home; that you could put 10 around a table and it wouldn't feel crowded."
"The brief I set myself was to create a slim chair that was comfortable," he continued. "Quite often with those types of chairs the compromise is comfort, so that was the reason for developing the articulating backrest."

Fereday的工作室位于澳大利亚悉尼坎佩尔镇郊区的一个工厂仓库里，他设计的这把椅子就参考了传统的工业椅子。

椅面安装在一个很小的不锈钢框架上，需要收纳时可以将它们堆叠在一起。

Fereday, whose studio is based in an industrial warehouse in the Camperdown suburb of Sydney, Australia, was inspired by the design of traditional factory chairs.
The chair's sculpted solid ash seat are set within a minimal stainless steel frame that allows them to be stacked.

钢制框架穿过靠背的中心，两者之间安装着铜制的管套和自润滑轴承，在调整椅背角度时更加顺畅。

Fereday表示，只须将钢制框架轻轻弯曲，就可以轻易安装椅背，这样不但方便运输，也便于回收与修复。

The slim backrest pivots around the steel frame on a series of solid bronze, self-lubricating sleeve bearings that enable a smooth adjustment.
The backrest is simply press-fit assembled using the natural flex of the steel frame. Fereday stated that this allows for minimal shipping volume and easy end-of-life recycling or repair.

今年Fereday一直很忙，在被Dezeen提名为斯德哥尔摩家具博览会的七位设计师之一后，他更加忙碌。

墨尔本设计周期间，他也是26名设计师之一，在展览中，他展出了一件贾斯珀•莫里森（Jasper Morrison）设计的Hal椅的复制品，这引起了人们对澳大利亚合法复制品家具市场的关注。

After being named by Dezeen as one of seven designers to watch from the Stockholm Furniture Fair, Fereday has had a busy year.
During Melbourne Design Week he was one of 26 designers to adapt a replica of Jasper Morrison's Hal chair in an exhibition that drew attention to Australia's legal replica furniture market.

米兰设计周上，在一个12世纪教堂的庭院里，他展示了一张为家具品牌SP01设计的钢丝椅，它适合在澳大利亚户外使用。

他还与艺术家苏珊•陈（Susan Chen）合作，设计了一款精致的3D打印吊灯，这款吊灯只需要两个多小时就可以在一堆泥土中制作而成，除此之外，他还为悉尼的Bondi Junction购物中心的路易•威登店设计了一系列的定制桌椅。

At Milan Design Week, in a 12th-century church courtyard, he showcased a wire chair that was created for new furniture brand SP01, whose unique selling point is that its furniture can withstand the Australian outdoors.
Working with artist Susan Chen he developed a delicately ridged 3D-printed pendant light that takes two and a half hours to 3D print from one piece of extruded clay, and also created a series of custom-made tables and chairs for the Louis Vuitton store inside Sydney's Bondi Junction shopping centre.
