The Design

About Asa Sideboard

Dieses Projekt wurde von einer traditionellen Folklore-Dekorationsschrift inspiriert. Es wird in einer Kombination aus den Farben Rot, Blau, Blauschwarz, Grün, Öl und Khaki präsentiert. Es soll sowohl als Sideboard als auch als Dekorationsobjekt sowohl in modernen als auch klassischen Häusern verwendet werden. Es versucht, Tradition mit modernem Leben zu verbinden. Es zeigt den Weg, sich an die Wurzeln zu erinnern, aber auch in die Zukunft zu blicken. Es zeigt den Wandel von etwas Altem zu etwas Neuem. Einfachheit mit einem Hauch von Eleganz.

The technical part of producing the specific object , can be only achieved with a special printer that can capture this particular project with every necessary detail.
Research
The original investigation focused on the draft form and more specifically to these shapes.
In their final form in their final dimension to shape as well as the dimensions of these and of course to the combination of such diverse and disparate shapes and definitive end to the combination of colors
Subsequent to the technical performance of the scheme in the wood through a specific printer that could capture the particular project in every detail.
Inspiration
In our effort to interpret new and different cultures, we can lead to paths unknown, that had never been imagined. On these paths, we discover new themes, untold stories, interesting shapes, unrevealed colours. In this diversity that might have seemed important in the beginning, we might recognize another personality of us that might had been well hidden.My basic inspiration was the Indian art of tattoos; my attempt was to reveal something that I love, by creating something with a particular theme, dimension and subject.
Project Duration
This project is in a concept stage & has not been prototyped or constructed. The concept work started in January of 2017 & ended by the end of February 2017.
Operation Flow
The primary function is as a storage unit, but the combination of simplicity and the imposing form, transforms it into a powerful piece of decoration for any contemporary or traditional house.
