About Bio One Cathair Oifis

'S e cathair-ghàirdean oifis ìosal a th' ann am Bio One, air a dealbhadh airson àiteachan-obrach cruthachail beaga leithid stiùidiothan agus oifisean dachaigh. Tha bonn snìomhach le rothan-castair aig a' chathair agus tha i air a dèanamh de theirmoplastaigean molldaichte le pìobachd stàilinn barrachaol agus lùbte. Tha cumaidhean organach na suidheachain ag èirigh gu oir neo-cho-chothromach air taic a' chinn, a' cur nar cuimhne flùr na Calla aethiopica. Tha an neo-cho-chothromachd a' cur faireachdainn de ghluasad ris gun bhuaidh air gnìomh no eirgeanomaigs. Tha an cruth ciùin agus eòlach an dùil misneachd a thoirt agus beachdan ùra a bhrosnachadh.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Associations and familiarity were used to shape an essential part of the workplace into an object designed to encourage creativity and instigate inspiration. General organic outlines of the seat transform and grow into a characteristic uplifting form resembling the flower of the Calla aethiopica on the edge of the backrest. This edge bends slightly backward and rises asymmetrically bringing dynamics to the silhouette but not compromising the functionality and ergonomics.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width / Depth: up to 680mm, Height: 849mm
Tags: Essential, Natural, Growth, Asymmetric
Production Technology: Molded thermoplastics, Tapered and bent steel tubing
Design Challenge: The aim was to create a safe and familiar object, using the shape of the seat that relates to a multitude of natural forms and general characteristics of the living world. Asymmetry was chosen as one of the main attributes to create a feeling of dynamics, which is essential for a modern working environment, to inspire new ideas, and to boost the user's creativity. Gradual changes in the details of the form and minimal deformations that accentuate the silhouette intend to associate with growth as a universally understandable natural pattern and bring confidence.
Research: The research was performed by analyzing samples from flora and fauna and simplification and stylizing through various stages of drawing and 3D computer modeling. It was driven by the challenge of creating both a calming and dynamic form for a functional ergonomic object, suitable for first-time remote work while using fresh aesthetics. The result is a universally understandable bio-form cleansed of unnecessary visual details, with harmonious organic outlines additionally emphasized in contrast with different material finishes chosen for the seat and legs.
Inspiration: Bio One was created as a part of conceptual research on the subject of stylistics within a doctoral studies project. The basic studio chair was inspired by organic forms and universal principles of nature, with the intention of bringing a fresh take to working in small creative environments.
Project Duration: The project lasted one semester at the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade.
Operation Flow: Bio One low studio armchair with swivel base and castors fulfills essential functions of an office chair intended for small productive spaces. Simplistic asymmetry and inspiring natural form complement the modern interiors of studios and home offices.
