About Anima Tugitool

Anima tugitool on silmapaistev disain, mis ammutab inspiratsiooni looduses leiduvatest vormidest ja materjalidest. Keskendudes mängulistele ja sümmeetrilistele kujunditele, püüab see luua kasutajatele positiivseid kogemusi, äratades ülendavaid tundeid, mida sageli seostatakse looduselementidega. Brasiilia mitmekesise fauna ja floora hoolikast vaatlusest lähtuvalt kujundatud tugitool muudab need inspiratsioonid konkreetseks tooteks. See peegeldab Brasiilia ökosüsteemides leiduvaid muljetavaldavaid siluette, rõhutades nii selle mänguliste tunnuste autentsust kui ka orgaaniliste joonte elegantsust.

Design Challenge
The greatest challenge was understanding the elements that contribute to nature’s beauty and translating them into an armchair design. We immersed ourselves in observation, sketching organic lines, symmetry, and playful forms found in the natural world. Once the design was finalized, the next step was crafting a prototype using natural materials such as wood and cotton fabric. Working freehand, we constructed the wooden armchair's base, ensuring that the intricate, handmade quality from our drawings was preserved in the final product. This process beautifully linked nature’s essence with our craftsmanship.
Research
Brazil is home to one of the world's richest biodiversities. The objective of our research was to explore and understand the elements that contribute to the beauty of our native flora and fauna. We employed a hands-on approach, venturing into the field to closely observe various plants and animals. As we explored, we sketched our observations, capturing the intricate details and characteristics that make these living beings remarkable. This immersive method not only enhanced our appreciation of nature but also informed our design concepts, allowing us to translate this beauty into our work.
Inspiration
From the shapes and materials of the armchair, the project aims to express the positive experience transmitted in the beauty of nature's playful and symmetrical forms, giving us good feelings, which we experience when we are in contact with natural elements. The Anima armchair was designed based on the observation of aspects present in both Brazilian fauna and flora, with the aim of transmitting the beauty perceived through the interpretation of shapes.
Project Duration
January 2024 and finished June 2024. It was made in Nova Petropolis, Rio Grande do Sul. Brazil
Operation Flow
Imagine sinking into the Anima armchair after a long day. Its organic and natural curves invite you to relax, wrapping you in a cocoon of comfort with the Tauari wood. As you settle in, the playful lines and natural aesthetic create a soothing atmosphere, reminiscent of a serene walk in nature. You might take a moment to enjoy a good book, the chair cradling you like a gentle embrace.
