The Design

About Era Cadeira sen encosto

Era é unha cadeira sen encosto deseñada como un elemento escultórico de asento para interiores. A base fórmase mediante varas metálicas fixadas entre un polo superior e outro inferior, cada un suxeitado por un anel metálico con orificios dispostos en ángulos calculados. As varas xiran ao redor dun eixo central, e o reflexo da luz entre as liñas crea unha sensación de movemento. Todos os elementos de suxeición están ocultos, de xeito que a estrutura se le como unha forma clara. O asento está recuberto de escuma e coiro, e unha placa de madeira contrapeada no interior evita que a escuma se deforme. Era mide 500 milímetros de alto, 450 de ancho e 450 de profundidade.

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.
The reflection of light and its effect between the lines of its metal bases creates a sense of movement and continuity for the audience.
Dimensions & Packaging: 500 High 450 Wide 450 Depth
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.
