Grand Interview

Your exploration of sensual and dynamic forms in the Organic Furniture Collection Conceptual Objects draws fascinating parallels with Fernando Botero's sculptural work - how did you translate these artistic influences into functional furniture pieces while maintaining the delicate balance between form and function?

Thank you very much for your comments. As you say, it is about finding a delicate balance between the expressiveness of the form and the functionality of the piece.To do this, one must perform an analysis of human proportions so that the forms meet certain ergonomic requirements so that a person feels comfortable there, without neglecting the expressiveness of the form, which is what gives the piece its own identity.

The Organic Furniture Collection Conceptual Objects notably features the "Sensual Chair" with its distinctive curved silhouette - could you walk us through your creative journey from initial sketches to the final 3D visualization, particularly focusing on how you achieved those flowing, organic lines?

The shape first emerged from a paper sketch which I then took to the 3D software. Besides Botero's artistic influence, the moment of inspiration happened at home when I left the dentist and saw how my temporary tooth had broken in two. Looking at it, I began to rearrange the broken parts and I said to myself that this improvised design could be an original way to create a chair.

Having earned the Silver A' Design Award for the Organic Furniture Collection Conceptual Objects, how do you envision this recognition influencing your future approach to merging sculptural artistry with practical furniture design?

I hope that this recognition can open more doors for me to companies that want to materialize my creations that seek to eliminate barriers between art and design. In fact, this series has won the gold prize in an international design competition, whose jury was composed of famous designers.

Design Challenge
The challenge in this collection was to find a balance between form and function, that is, art and design.
Research
This series of furniture arises from the exploration of forms that generate sensuality and seduce the user.

First I have sketched the shapes in a scratch pad and then I have taken it to the 3d software.
Inspiration
My inspiration is the organic sculptures and sculptures of female bodies by sculptors like Fernando Botero.
Project Duration
This project has taken about 8 months and has been carried out in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Operation Flow
the interaction with the user arises through the visual appeal that these organic and sculptural forms generate in the viewer.

These friendly shapes and warm colors make users perceive the comfort of the furniture before using it, and have the desire to corroborate that feeling by using it.
