CLICLOUNGETABLE TRESPA
About this product
Architonic ID: 1213910
Year of Launch: 2007
Concept
It started with an easy chair…
The CLICLOUNGER easy chair was conceived in 2004 when PeLi was researching the values of modernity which are for him: multiplicity (industrial reproduction), clarity of use and function, absence of decoration and honesty of material.
Modernist furniture is exemplified in the crate-furniture of Rietveld which were the first do-it-yourself pieces (today: IKEA-style).
He thought this through:
What would happen if you make the whole thing from only one material?
What kind of connections can do that?
The answers came out of researching traditional Japanese wood connections and hiking gear.
PeLi used an HPL plate material that is very dense and strong with a durable top-layer, scratch and water resistant. (the furniture is also suitable for outdoor use). Out of this plate the furniture is CNC milled to direct use without any further production steps in between. These first pieces where developed in close contact and support from TRESPA International.
In 2007 PeLiDesign produced the CLICLOUNGE consisting of an easy chair and a table. Soon after that the range was enlarged to a sturdy yet well proportioned and comfortable dining chair, a Dining table (upon request) and a bar table. All the items come in a wide range of colors (see www.trespa.com for all the indoor and outdoor possibilities). Standard color on stock is white.

PeLiDesign is an international design studio, based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. They develop great marketing and branding concepts and develop extraordinary products. With their team and network of engineers and designers and marketeers, they embark on your project! Apart from serving their clients, PeLiDesign initiates design research and lectures at academies and Universities. PeLiDesign is about truth: they love to show the inner beauty of things. A product for PeLiDesign is not about mere surface: all parts of a product have to have a strong connection to the manufacturing process and a product’s beauty has to come forth of a honest use of the material it is made of. Because of that, PeLiDesign is interested in long lasting relationships with their clients. PeLiDesign was established in 2005 by Alexander Pelikan. The designer, born in Germany, lives and works after graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven, in the Netherlands. Biography Alexander Pelikan, Product designer ‘By designing I want to explore new roads and I want to be surprised where these roads take me.’ For Alexander Pelikan, or short “PeLi” experimentation with common and new materials and techniques is crucial. Another cornerstone of his work is cooperating with craftspeople, other designers and innovative companies. In the beginning of an assignment always stands a research into the subject. Social/cultural facts play an important role as well as possibilities and (hidden) potentials of the company he is working for. While wandering these ways ideas emerge which are transformed and integrated in his works. In PeLi’s designs he invites coincidence – any detail could be of importance- and is as such carefully recorded and researched. When he is busy with an assignment or free work, he wants to dive into the technique and be able to make it himself or at least understand every single step of the creation…this is very important for PeLi: to identify with “head and hand” with the stuff he create.
