About Nikao Rooj Ib Sab

Nikao Rooj Ib Sab yog ib qho rooj tog zoo nkauj raws li lub tswv yim hloov zuj zus ntawm cov duab geometric ncig thiab cylindrical. Cov no raug hloov los ua kom haum rau ib puag ncig thiab lub hom phiaj tshwj xeeb. Nyob rau hauv txoj kev no, ob qho tib si kev siv tau thiab qauv tsim raug daws thaum tseem khaws lub ntsiab lus geometric qub, thiab dhau los ua ib yam khoom uas organic thiab nyuam yees dua. Nikao rooj ib sab sib cuam tshuam nrog tus saib xyuas nyob rau hauv txoj kev ntuj. Nws cov duab ntxim nyiam, nrog rau qhov sov so ntawm cov khoom siv, ua rau tus neeg siv los ze zog, kov nws thiab zaum ntawm nws ib sab.

Unique Properties: Nikao Side Table is an elegant, daring and cutting edge piece of furniture based on an evolutionary concept or circular and cylindrical geometries, which are transformed in order to adapt to a certain environment and function. By doing so, both structure and utility are solved maintaining the original essence of the piece, and becoming a more complex and organic object.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 540mm x Depth 540mm x Height 540mm
Tags: Side table, solid wood, organic design, wooden furniture, modern, luxury, unique, minimal design
Production Technology: The construction and manufacturing process equally combines technology and craftsmanship. High quality Iroko solid wood planks are machined three-dimensionally using a 5 axis CNC milling router, following a 3D drawing. Once the pieces are machined, these are glued and assembled one another by wood artisans obtaining the final shape and giving life to the object.
Design Challenge: I found specially challenging to achieve an organic, beautiful and eye-catching piece of furniture through its complex manufacturing process. It needs to be magnetic to the viewer. Technically, the great challenge was to model and CNC cut the wooden pieces with such a complex geometry.
Research: When facing Nikao side table, I had nature and living forms as a reference and inspiration. The creative process consists of trying to emulate this evolutionary natural process through natural materials and give a function to it, in this case a side table. This experimental phase is developed through direct transformation exercises using everyday simple material such as plasticine or paper, and tools such as drawing and 3D software. Once the model is created, a prototype is manufactured and tested using CNC technology and wood craftsmanship.
Inspiration: When facing Nikao side table, I had nature and living forms as a reference and inspiration. Every curve and surface present in nature has a biological explanation related to a certain function over time, and these evolutionary transformations are my source of inspiration to create Nikao. The creative process consists of trying to emulate this natural process through natural materials and give a function to it, in this case a side table.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2023 and finished in March 2023 in Madrid.
Operation Flow: Nikao side table interacts with the observer in a natural way. The human eye is more used to curved lines and surfaces, they have always been present in nature, they surround us. That instinct lingers in our animal subconscious, and the soft, natural forms give us pleasure and tranquility. Its attractive shape, together with the warmth of the material, makes the user to come closer, touch it, sit next to it.
