Abstract(s)
Este projeto tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de uma poltrona ergonómica
projetada para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos utilizadores em contextos de utilização
estática prolongada. O foco está nos indivíduos que passam longos períodos sentados,
quer na leitura, quer na utilização de dispositivos eletrónicos. A proposta procura
abordar os problemas decorrentes de posturas inadequadas, promovendo conforto e
suporte ergonómico para mitigar o desconforto físico associado a estas atividades. O design da poltrona foi guiado por princípios de ergonomia, fatores humanos e
antropometria, garantindo uma solução adaptável às necessidades de um público
diversificado. Para alcançar este objetivo, adotou-se uma abordagem metodológica
baseada no modelo Double Diamond, que permitiu estruturar o processo de Pesquisa e
desenvolvimento do conceito, Teste do conceito, Desenvolvimento do protótipo e
Avaliação. A testagem envolveu observação direta e questionários com utilizadores,
permitindo uma análise detalhada da eficácia da solução. O produto final é uma poltrona projetada com intuito de ser versátil, prática e
intuitiva, capaz de se adaptar a diferentes contextos de utilização, como ambientes
domésticos, espaços públicos e institucionais. Esta poltrona visa não só proporcionar
conforto e funcionalidade, como também contribuir para a redução de problemas físicos
associados às posturas estáticas prolongadas enquanto sentados em poltronas,
promovendo assim o bem-estar e uma experiência mais segura e confortável para os
utilizadores.
This project aims to develop an ergonomic armchair designed to improve the quality of life of users in contexts of prolonged static use. The focus is on individuals who spend long periods seated, whether reading or using electronic devices. The proposal seeks to address issues arising from poor posture by promoting comfort and ergonomic support to mitigate the physical discomfort associated with these activities. The armchair's design was guided by principles of ergonomics, human factors, and anthropometry, ensuring a solution adaptable to the needs of a diverse audience. To achieve this objective, a methodological approach was adopted, based on four key stages: Research and Concept Development, Concept Testing, Prototype Development, and Evaluation. Testing involved direct observation and user questionnaires, enabling a detailed analysis of the solution’s effectiveness. The final product is an armchair designed to be versatile, practical, and intuitive, capable of adapting to different usage contexts such as domestic environments, public spaces, and institutional settings. This armchair aims not only to provide comfort and functionality but also to contribute to the reduction of physical problems associated with prolonged static sitting postures, thereby promoting well-being and offering a safer and more comfortable experience for users.
