The Design

About Bio Křeslo

Kolekce Bio je série nízkých křesel navržených pro použití v moderních interiérech. Otvor v opěradle připomíná list nebo mušli a tvar se poblíž vnějšího okraje mění v podobu podobnou květu rostliny Calla aethiopica. Tento okraj se mírně zaklání dozadu a na jedné straně se zvedá, čímž vzniká asymetrická silueta. Asymetrie se objevuje pouze ve vnějších částech tvaru, takže pohodlí a ergonomie zůstávají zachovány. Mezi použité materiály patří tvarované termoplasty, ocel, litý hliník, dubové dřevo a kůže.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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.
