The Design

About Era Cadira sense respatller

Era és una cadira sense respatller dissenyada com un element escultòric d'assentament per a interiors. La base està formada per barres metàl·liques fixades entre un pol superior i un pol inferior, cadascun subjectat per un anell metàl·lic amb forats disposats en angles calculats. Les barres giren al voltant d'un eix central, i el reflex de la llum entre les línies crea una sensació de moviment. Tots els elements de subjecció queden ocults, de manera que l'estructura es percep com una forma neta. El seient està folrat amb escuma i cuir, i una planxa de contraplacat a l'interior evita que l'escuma es deformi. Era mesura 500 mil·límetres d'alçada, 450 d'amplada i 450 de profunditat.

Unique Properties: The goal of this project was to make a unique stool that in itself can be a convincing and prominent element for the user and the room.
The reflection of light and its effect between the lines of its metal bases creates a sense of movement and continuity for the audience.
Dimensions & Packaging: 500 High 450 Wide 450 Depth
Tags: furniture, stool, brass, arsalan ghadimi, ghafdesign, leather, iran
Production Technology: The rods are fixed at the top and bottom poles, each by a metal ring, each of which has a calculated angle hole. The stool is covered with a foam and a leather cover, and a plywood plate is embedded in the seat to prevent the foam from deforming.
Design Challenge: The clearness of the design was one of the main intentions during the whole development period. That meant that no visible fastening elements were allowed. These objectives together required the invention of an ingenious, yet simple solution to completely hide the fastening elements for the poles. Probably this was the hardest part of the development.
Research: Until the final form of Era was realized, diverse prototypes has been constructed to get the best possible look. All the angles, number and diameter of poles, the final colors, the exact shape of the ring was researched in many ways. We have also made numerous experiments with the SLS technology, to reach the desired quality and perfect assembly tolerances for the manufacturing of the product.
Inspiration: The main idea of the quadruped is derived from nature. The circular rotation around a axis makes it look like a tornado. Regular repetition of lines at the base of stool has made it a modern sculpture
Project Duration: This project started in April of 2018 in Tehran, Iran.
Operation Flow: It is part of a new living style that, due to its special shape, can create a unique landscape as a unit or even in combination with other components of the interior.
