The Design

About Era Silla sin respaldo

Era es una silla sin respaldo concebida como un elemento de asiento escultórico para interiores. La base está formada por varillas metálicas fijadas entre un poste superior y otro inferior, sujetos cada uno por un aro metálico con perforaciones dispuestas en ángulos calculados. Las varillas giran en torno a un eje central, y el reflejo de la luz entre las líneas genera una sensación de movimiento. Todos los elementos de fijación quedan ocultos, de modo que la estructura se percibe como una forma nítida. El asiento está revestido de espuma y cuero, y una placa de contrachapado en su interior evita que la espuma se deforme. Era mide 500 milímetros de alto, 450 de ancho y 450 de profundidad.

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.

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.
