Alegre Design creates DIDA for FG, a 360º sitting experience for learning spaces

DIDA ensures a correct posture at all times

DIDA is the new chair designed by Alegre Design that ensures a 360º sitting experience for learning environments and joins the catalogue of Spanish school furniture manufacturer Federico Giner (FG). It is a chair that ensures a correct posture at all times, no matter if the person seats frontally, laterally or backwards.

Alegre's Design challenge was to create a timeless chair capable of standing the test of time. It had to be a nice-looking, compact and highly durable chair. DIDA has been created to streamline learning and support the active learning methodologies of the present and of the future. DIDA gets its name from the concept of “didactics”.

“We made a decision to take advantage of the benefits offered by injection materials, which offer a nice feel and are a guarantee of durability. Thus, plastic injection technology was applied to create a simple and easy to produce product. The fusion of design and technology generated an innovative geometry of variable thickness that guarantees its durability. Some parts of the chair are thicker to withstand continuous use and others are thinner and lighter, favoring the movement of the chairs in dynamic educational spaces.”

DIDA represents a new step in the collaboration between Alegre Design and FG, and aims to provide a solution for the future needs of education: mobility, hygiene and well-being. Dida comes in different sizes for each age group and is functional in both passive and active learning environments.

Whether during a teacher's explanation or during a collaborative task, Dida ensures that the time students spend sitting in the classroom is as comfortable and healthy as possible. The silhouette of the backrest allows the arm to rest comfortably if the user is sitting to the side. It offers a simple grip that allows the chairs to be moved around easily and as quietly as possible, in order to be able to reconfigure the learning area for every task at any given moment.

“Dida was designed for educational environments but is not limited to the classroom. Due to its design and ease of cleaning, it covers the needs of other rooms such as the dining room and laboratory, or even the work areas of teachers and administrative personnel”. Marcelo Alegre

DIDA can be accessorized with a writing pad as a desk and with wheels, which reinforce its flexibility.
