Tentang It's a Metaphor Meja

Proyek ini mengolok-olok dirinya sendiri sambil meningkatkan kesadaran sosial tentang kesetaraan gender. Secara khusus, ini menggunakan metafora yang muncul dari sumo, salah satu olahraga yang paling didominasi pria dalam masyarakat Jepang. Perempuan tidak diperbolehkan bertanding secara profesional dalam cabang olahraga ini mengingat aturan seksis, yang membatasi mereka di luar ring gulat karena kenajisan mereka karena darah menstruasi. Menjatuhkan seorang prajurit sumo ke tanah, untuk melayani pot bunga atau kebutuhan lain yang mungkin dimiliki orang, menodai dominasi macho yang masih dipegang sumo, hanya dengan menggunakan ironi dan humor.

Teknologi Produksi
3D-printed assembled object. It can be produced either way with Eco-friendly 3D-printed Poly Lactic Acid filaments or carbon fibers. The structure is divided in multiparts, hand refined and assembled. Successively the whole body is glazed by immersion and finished with a vitreous enamel coating.
A round tempered glass is based on the structure and secured using discreet clear glass high-grip bumpers, specifically designed for the purpose.

The structural analysis take into consideration the chosen materials and the multipart splitting process, where every cut and internal printed reinforcements are made to dump and sustain the weight the structure will go through.
Tantangan Desain
The creative challenge of this project is to combine the practical function of a furniture piece and communication contents as a means of social commitment. Sumo wrestlers are so well regarded and revered in society to be almost considered as macho semi-gods in their country; placing one of them in a conscious submissive position -grateful and happy to help others- wishes to rebalance a more male-dominated thinking to a non-discriminatory one.
Riset
The main focus of this project -together with many pieces produced by our design studio- is to raise awareness about social rights and equal opportunity. Specifically, the target of our research was speaking about the equality of the sexes without being moralistic or patronising; in order to do this we chose to use irony and humour, two powerful rhetorical devices to convey a disputed concept without too much bloodshed.
Inspirasi
"The piece of wood came alive and it was able to speak". That's pretty much what happened to Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio; likewise, adding communication contents to a product, gives this object an identity and the ability to speak to people.
This project is poking fun at itself while aim to raise social awareness on equality of the sexes. Specifically, it uses a metaphor which springs from sumo, one of the most male dominated sport in the Japanese society. Women are not allowed to compete professionally in this sport given sexist rules, which by tradition border them outside the wrestling ring as a result of their "impurity" by reason of the menstrual blood.
Knocking a sumo warrior to the ground at the service of a flower pot -or any other need people may require from a table- ironically desecrates this macho dominance still present in some traditions.
Durasi Proyek
The project has started in December 2019 in London and finished, as it is shown, in February 2020. Currently, the table has a unique prototype and will be ready to be produced and launched serially in May 2020.
Alur Operasi
A table which can hosts up to 10 seaters. Ideal to be placed wherever an open minded spirit is at home.
