The Design

About Bio Armchair

Ang Bio usa ka koleksyon sa ubos nga armchair nga gidesinyo alang sa paggamit sa modernong mga interior. Ang abli sa likod-lingkoranan (backrest) nagpahinumdom sa usa ka dahon o kabhang, ug ang porma nausab duol sa gawas nga daplin ngadto sa usa ka porma nga susama sa bulak sa tanom nga Calla aethiopica. Kini nga daplin gamay nga naliko paatras ug mituybo sa usa ka kilid, nga naghimo og asymmetric nga silhouette. Ang pagkadili-simetriko mahitabo lamang sa gawas nga bahin sa porma, mao nga ang kahapsay ug ergonomics gipreserbar. Ang mga materyales naglakip sa molded thermoplastics, asero, cast aluminum, kahoy nga oak ug panit.

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award nga Bronse

Bio Armchair usa ka mananaog sa A' Design Award nga Bronse, usa ka labihan ka prestihiyoso nga pag-ila nga gihatag sa talagsaon nga mga disenyo nga gipaila sa pagkamamugnaon, kaabtik, ug kamatngon. Ang mga mananaog sa Bronse mga hanas kaayo ug makapahibulong nga mamugnaon nga mga artipakto nga nagpamatuod sa dakong kasinatian, imahinasyon, ug kaabtik sa ilang mga tigdesinyo. Gilauman nga ang Bio Armchair mahimong gipabilhan, gihangaan, ug gihigugma nga butang nga talagsaon ang pagkapropesyonal ug bag-o. Kini nga disenyo nga nakadaog og A' Design Award nga Bronse naglakip sa labing maayong mga praktis sa arte, siyensya, disenyo, ug teknolohiya ug maayo kaayo tungod sa pagtagad niini sa mga detalye. Bio Armchair nagtagbaw sa mga panginahanglan sa matahom nga paagi, nag-igo sa mga tinguha, nagbihag sa mga pagbati, ug nagdani sa pagkamausisaon.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The ambiguous shape of the opening on the seat's back, recognizable as a leaf or shell transforms into a more characteristic form similar to the flower of the Calla aethiopica plant on the edge of the backrest. This edge bends slightly backwards and rises on one side, creating a new visual effect as opposed to the other side. The asymmetry of the silhouette does not affect the functionality and ergonomics of the seat since changes in the shape occur only in the outer areas of the form.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width / Depth: up to 680mm, Height: 849mm (medium)
Tags: Asymmetry, Natural, Bio-form, Growth, Stylization
Production Technology: Molded thermoplastics, Welded laser-cut and pressed steel, Cast aluminum, Oakwood, Leather
Design Challenge: The shape of the seat can be associated with a multitude of natural forms but also with the general characteristics of the living world. The silhouette of the seat is defined through two edge curves similar in shape but with subtle differences such as curvature, orientation, distortion, and depth. These gradual changes emphasize growth as a universally understandable natural pattern and accentuate the form through minimal spatial deformations associated with gravity and weight. A firm overall construct was kept whilst utilizing asymmetry as one of the main chosen attributes.
Research: The research was performed by analyzing samples from flora and fauna and simplification and stylizing through drawings and 3D computer models. The result contains no unnecessary visual details, and was driven by the challenge of creating asymmetrical functional aesthetics within an ergonomic fresh design, universally understood as a bio-form. Different variants were developed depending on the purpose of the chair and type of legs, with metal and wood as starting materials. The organic lines of the seats are additionally emphasized in contrast with the materials of the legs.
Inspiration: Bio is a conceptual research project in the subject of stylistics created as a part of doctoral studies. The proposal of the chair collection was inspired by organic shapes and universal principals of nature.
Project Duration: The project lasted one semester at the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade.
Operation Flow: Bio is a low armchair collection designed for various usages. It complements modern interiors with simplistic asymmetry and unobtrusive form open to interpretation.
