E Pili Ana iā Forma Noho

He noho ʻo Forma i hana ʻia mai ka ʻili holoholona i hoʻomaʻa ʻia me ka mea kanu, ka MDF a me ke kila. Hoʻopili hou ke ʻano i ke kaha o ka noho lio. Hoʻokumu ʻia ka ʻili ma ke ʻano hana pulu, kekahi o nā ʻenehana hana ʻili kahiko loa, e hana ana i nā ʻano i kūkulu ʻia a mau loa. Hiki i ke hana pulu ke hoʻokumu i nā hoʻololi mālie ma waena o nā wahi palupalu a paʻa, no laila, hāʻawi ka noho i ka ʻoluʻolu a me ke kākoʻo like. He 560 mm ka laulā, 605 mm ka hohonu, a 670 mm ke kiʻekiʻe o Forma. Hoʻololi kēia hoʻolālā i kahi ʻoihana hana lio kahiko i mea nohona hou.

E Pili Ana i ka A' Design Award Hao

Ua lanakila ka hoʻolālā Forma Noho i ka A' Design Award Hao, he ʻike hoʻohanohano i hāʻawi ʻia i nā hoʻolālā maikaʻi e hoʻokō ana i nā koi ʻoihana a ʻoihana hana i manaʻo ʻia mai nā mea hoʻokumu i hana maikaʻi ʻia. Hōʻike nā lanakila Hao i ka mākau nui, ka loea kiʻekiʻe, ka ʻike akamai a me ka hiki hana noʻeau o ka poʻe i hana iā lākou. Manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka hoʻolālā Forma Noho he mea hoʻokumu i mahalo nui ʻia, hoʻohiwahiwa ʻia a aloha ʻia e pono a hou. ʻO kēia hoʻolālā i lanakila i ka A' Design Award Hao e hoʻohui ana i nā hana maikaʻi loa o ka ʻoihana a loaʻa nā ʻano ʻenehana mākaukau i hui pū ʻia me ka ʻike hana a me ka makakoho. Mahalo ʻia ka hoʻolālā Forma Noho no kona nānā pono a ua hoʻolālā ʻia e hāʻawi i nā hoʻomaikaʻi ola e kōkua ai i ka hana ʻana i ka honua i wahi maikaʻi aku.

Nā ʻAno Kūʻokoʻa: Forma reinterprets the timeless silhouette of a horse’s saddle through the technique of wet molding to shape leather into intricate, structured forms. This method enhances durability and sculptural precision, allowing for seamless transitions between softness and rigidity. By pushing the boundaries of leather manipulation, Forma highlights materiality, refinement, and fluidity, redefining traditional craftsmanship in modern fabrication while achieving both structural integrity and sculptural rhythm.
Nā Ana a me ka Hoʻopili: Materials: Vegetable Tanned Leather / MDF / Steel
Dimensions: Width 560 mm x Depth 605 mm x Height 670mm
Nā Lepili: Leatherworking, Wet Molding, Material Exploration, Chair, Experimental Furniture Design
ʻEnehana Hana: Since early civilization, leather has been valued for its versatility, offering both comfort and protection. Wet molding, one of the oldest leatherworking techniques, remains a vital method for shaping leather into structured, durable forms. Forma employs this technique to fuse soft and rigid elements with fluidity, achieving structural refinement. By leveraging this process, the design not only preserves traditional craftsmanship but also explores new possibilities in material adaptation and contemporary fabrication techniques.
Pilikia Hoʻolālā: Wet molding is a centuries-old technique, yet its potential within contemporary design remains largely underexplored. This project challenges conventional applications by experimenting with new shaping methods, testing leather’s adaptability, and refining its structural possibilities. Through material-driven research, it seeks to expand the boundaries of craftsmanship, integrating traditional leatherworking techniques with adaptive design solutions.
Noiʻi: This project investigates the potential of wet molding through hands-on experimentation, analyzing the material’s flexibility and structural limitations. By studying how leather responds to manipulation, the research informs the development of innovative forms and explores new possibilities in furniture applications. Pushing the boundaries of this traditional craft, the study bridges material experimentation with material-driven design, redefining leather’s role in modern fabrication.
Hoʻoulu Manaʻo: Forma is rooted in a deep appreciation for the transformation of raw materials through time-honored craftsmanship. Inspired by the evolution of saddlery, the project reinterprets traditional processes for new creative applications by examining how wet molding—a technique integral to equestrian gear—can be adapted for contemporary design. The interplay of structure and fluidity found in saddlery serves as the foundation for a piece that honors heritage craftsmanship while embracing design refinement.
Ka Lōʻihi o ka Papahana: The project started in January 2023 in Providence, Rhode Island, and was completed in May 2023.
Kaʻina Hana: Designed to offer both function and sculptural presence, Forma’s structured yet fluid form allows it to serve as a seat while also acting as a statement piece. The careful balance of soft and rigid elements provides both comfort and support, making it a versatile addition to various interior spaces.
