About UnBespoke Mahai gaineko objektua

UnBespoke Indiana kareharriz egindako mahai gaineko objektu modularra da. Harrizko lau pieza triangeluartu argi-kandelak edo landare txikiak eusteko diseinatuta daude. Piezak karratu gisa, triangelu aldeberdin gisa, edo erabiltzaileak aukeratutako beste konfigurazio batzuetan antola daitezke. Diseinua Haberdasher Puzzletik dator, karratu bat triangelu aldeberdin bat osatzen duten piezetan nola ebaki erakusten duen problema matematiko batetik. Piezak biratzen direnean, karratuaren barne-ertz uhindunak triangeluaren perimetroan agertzen dira. Objektua 3Dn modelatu eta CNC mekanizazioz ebaki da.

The Recognition

About the Zilarrezko Saria A' Design Award

UnBespoke Mahai gaineko objektua Zilarrezko Saria A' Design Award irabazlea da, goi-mailako, zoragarriak eta liluragarriak diren diseinuei ematen zaien ezohiko aitorpen prestijiotsua. Zilar-mailako irabazleak lan oso distiratsuak eta sormen biziko lanak dira, beren diseinatzaileen aditutasun, talentu eta zorroztasun nabarmenak erakusten dituztenak. UnBespoke Mahai gaineko objektua erakusleiho-lan zoragarria, nabarmenki profesionala eta sakonki berritzailea izatea espero da. Zilarrezko Saria A' Design Award irabazi duen diseinu hau asmakizun oso nabarmena eta miretsia da, onura ekartzen duena eta artearen, zientziaren, diseinuaren eta teknologiaren mugak zabaltzen dituena. UnBespoke Mahai gaineko objektua jende askok inbidia duen sorkuntza da, desirak pizten dituena, sentimendu positiboak ekartzen dituena eta harridura eta txunditzea pizten dituena.

Unique Properties: UnBespoke is an investigation in to the use of a natural material, Indiana limestone, in the production of a contemporary design object and a modular table accessory. There are four triangulated stone pieces that are designed to hold tea light candles and/or small-scale plants. UnBespoke can be arranged in a variety of formation - from square to equilateral triangle or in any configurations as the user experiments with them.
Dimensions & Packaging: 230 mm (width) x 230 mm (length) x 50 mm (height)
Tags: limestone, tabletop object, tabletop accessory, object design, candle holder, planter
Production Technology: Limestone has been used as a building material for thousands of years because of its beauty and durability, especially for many classical architectures. Our design goal is to produce a contemporary design objects in various scales using limestone, and UnBespoke has given limestone a renewed legitimacy as a decorative design object. Unbespoke is designed with an advanced 3D modelling and fabricated by CNC technology.
Design Challenge: The small scale of the design was challenging for fabricating limestone. The fabrication facility that we utilized for CNC is not familiar with such a small scale object product, so we had to convince the facility to fabricate with a extra care.
Research: UnBespoke is a small scale object design that continues to investigate our rigorous research utilizing a local material, Indiana limestone, in a wide array of contemporary design applications. UnBespoke brings a whimsical use of the material in a human living environment as the users have options to arrange as they intend.
Inspiration: The design stems from a famous mathematical problem, the Haberdasher Puzzle, how to dissect a square into pieces that can then be reconstituted into an equilateral triangle. When the pieces are rotated from the square to the equilateral triangle, the undulated interior edges of the initial square are revealed on the perimeter of the triangle. The design is also inspired by the previous project that utilized overlapping circles as a design language with a different metallic material.
Project Duration: The design process of UnBespoke started in April 2019, and hatiKB fabricated first prototype models in August 2019. The work has been exhibited through New and Next Exhibition in January 2020 at the Museum of Evansville in IN, USA.
Operation Flow: The basic formation is either a square or an equilateral formation of the Haberdasher Puzzle from which the design of UnBespoke was derived, but the users can arrange four stone pieces in a variety of formation as they experiment with the pieces.
