About Venus 요람, 소파
비너스는 소파와 요람으로 모두 사용할 수 있는 다목적 가구입니다. 타원형 구조는 CNC 기계로 절삭한 목재로 제작되었으며, 60mm 두께의 쿠션 폼을 채우고 패브릭으로 마감했습니다. 합판 소재의 펜스를 아래로 내려 아기를 안전하게 보호할 수 있습니다. 청진기 기술이 적용된 쿠션은 임신 기간 동안 어머니가 태아의 심장 박동을 들을 수 있게 해줍니다. 비너스는 어머니와 다섯 살까지의 아이를 위한 휴식, 수유, 수면을 지원합니다. 그 형태는 신석기 시대 고대 이란의 점토 조각상에서 영감을 받았습니다.

- The oval shape of Venus structure is made of wood, cut down with a CNC machine and filled with Upholstery Foam (60mm thickness), and then covered with fabric.
the fence was prototyped in the Polywood structure and was connected to the body with two circular patches.
we used stethoscope technology for the pillow to hear the fetus heartbeat. - Design Challenge
- the main challenge was the connection between ancient inspiration and modern society. finding a design language the faces our real needs. we could highlight some of the fertility touch points and find solutions based on inspiration resources. as an example mother's concerns for the health of the fetus and the desire to hear the baby's heartbeat were founded in the function of the old mother statues that were used as some magical power to calm down and have an easy birth.
- Research
- The mother is the oldest subject of human art," says Toynbee. In ancient Iran, over the Neolithic period, there are some play statues with this subject. In some of these statues, their female organs are emphasized such as breasts and legs.
The excessive fatness of these statues reflects the difference that has been achieved in the aesthetic view of us and our prehistoric ancestors, and the belief in the beauty of fat women has remained strong in the minds of many people in the world until a few decades ago. Fatness was a symbol of health, wealth, and satiety for our ancestors. - Inspiration
- The identity of this project goes back to ancient Iran and the importance of women in the fertility of the earth. there are some clay statues, called Venus, that go back to the Neolithic era which is the symbol of the mother, the oldest human artistic subject. (says, Toynbee) These statues are symbols of fertility in the human, agriculture, and earth and were inspirational for our ancestors to survive. these ancient Iranian Venouses have a minimal ascetic with exaggerated sexual organs.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Jul 2020 Isfahan/Iran and finished in Dec 2020.
- Operation Flow
- In the pregnancy period, the mother can lay down on the furniture and use the pillow behind her head to listen to the fetus heartbeat and feel relax physically and mentally with her baby.
after the birth, the furniture can be used as space work for both mother and newborn to sleep, feed, hug and calm down together.
the main interaction is when the furniture can be used as a cradle the mother can turn down the fence to protect her baby. - Team Members
