Llegado由再生纸浆打造。是对纸浆结构硬度的新探索，也是以回收纸浆为设计材料的全新尝试。

Llegado is a series of stool made of pulp from the recycled paper. It is an exploration in the use of paper pulp’s structural strength and a search for a new kind of material authenticity for the recycled paper pulp.

设计师首先以Tyvek（高密度聚乙烯合成纸）为基底塑成凳脚，随后用水饱和纸浆混合胶水刷在凳脚模型上。该层纸浆混合物很快在模型上附着并形成1厘米厚膜。取一根33毫米周长的木杆并放置在平坦表面，将凳脚模型沿木杆长向围合，两侧张开如翼状。最后将这个组合而成的模型放置在弯曲的金属网板上自然风干。

For the legs, first the layer of water saturated paper pulp mixed with glue is laid on top of Tyvek on which the outline of each element is drawn. Paper pulp mixture is formed within this outline with about 1cm thickness. This layer is then placed on top of a wood rod of 33mm diameter in its length direction on a flat surface, wrapping around the rod with flanking part on both sides. This assembly is then placed on top of the curved metal mesh and left to dry in the natural atmosphere.

设计师采用与上述相同的方法制作3厘米厚的凳面，但不进行上述的自然风干程序。凳脚的风干时间约为3到4天，凳面的风干时间约为8到10天。等到完全干燥后，附着于Tyvek的包层将变得十分平滑，而暴露在空气中的一面则展现出纸浆的粗糙。在凳面的自然风干过程中，将一块圆形的Tyvek模型放置其上以获得光滑的表面。这一过程使纸浆的厚度降低至50%-60%。有时这一过程还会导致蹬腿两翼的扭曲变形。

The seat part with an initial thickness of 3cm of pulp follows the same process except for being left on a flat surface for drying. It takes about 3 – 4 days for the legs and about 8-10 days for the seat to dry. When they are completely dry, the surface attached to Tyvek becomes completely smooth and the side left in the air reveals the roughness of pulp. For the seat, a circular sheet of Tyvek is placed in the middle during the drying process to create a smooth surface in the center of rough surface on the top. The thickness reduces to about 50 – 60 percent of initial water saturated condition. The flanking parts of the legs sometimes also warp in this drying process.

有时候当纸浆在Tyvek表面塑型的过程中，设计师会将从金属加工车间回收的金属刨花撒在潮湿的纸浆表面。随着纸浆的风干，这些金属刨花会变得锈蚀，并形成不可预期的表面效果，让人不禁回味Raku陶瓷的制作工艺。这些凳脚和凳面上的锈蚀纹路让凳子周身更显一致性，且为每一个凳子打造了独特的花纹。

Another element employed in this process comes from the fine metal shavings harvested in a metal shop. These fine shavings are sprinkled on the surface of wet paper pulp when they are placed on Tyvek, and as the pulp dries, the metal becomes rusted to create a spontaneous and unexpected effect on the surface, reminiscent of the way how traditional Raku pottery uses the glazing. These rusted patterns on both legs and the seat visually connect them while giving the individual look for each stool.
