About Mobius Aulki

Mobius banda propietate fisiko eta matematiko interesgarriak dituen objektu matematiko bat da, alde bakar eta ertz bakarrekoa. Diseinua infinituaren gauzatzea da, fluidotasun sentimendua sortuz, amaigabeko mugimendua. Bere formak pieza honi forma eta funtzioa uztartzea ahalbidetzen dio. Mobius Aulkia matematika eta diseinuaren arteko harreman ederraren isla da.

Production Technology
The Mobius Chair is constructed through the use of multiple sections of cast iron. These sections are subsequently welded together. With a rough finish, the chair is then spray painted a deep blue.
Design Challenge
The challenge of the Mobius Chair is ensuring that when in use, it is able to sufficiently support an individual and place them such that the chair is not tipped by one’s weight.
Research
This design emerged from an exploration of mathematics and the underlying beauty of complex geometry.
Inspiration
The Mobius Chair was inspired by the beauty and complexity of mathematics. The mobius strip’s shape has been translated into the chair’s design, creating a continuous loop that appears to have no beginning or end, granting it a feeling of fluidity and authenticity. This design seeks to challenge traditional notions of form and function, offering a unique user experience while being aesthetically striking. The design is a testament to the power of mathematical concepts in art and design.
Project Duration
Mobius Chair was designed in February 2023 in Sydney.
Operation Flow
Due to it's intriguing design, the Mobius Chair can be displayed as an art piece, a display stand or as a functional piece of furniture. The chair's construction allows it to flex when in use, easing the user into a comfortable position.
