About Corcovado Qenefe

Corcovado qenefeyek e ku bo cihên jiyanê hatiye sêwirandin. Şêwe ji girên Corcovado îlham girtiye û xêzeke organîk û herikbar dişopîne. Piştgeh heta nîveka rûniştinê dirêj dibe û li dora wê dipêçe. Bingehek bi aliyên darîn ên dirêj wek piştgirî li ser parçeyê tê. Xemilandin dar û qumaş in. Firehiya qenefeyê 4.8 metre, bilindahiya wê 0.92 metre û kûrahiya wê 1.9 metre ye. Çar balîfên xemilandî tê de ne, da ku her xwedî bikaribe rehetî û xuyangê li gorî zewqa xwe eyar bike. Ev sêwiran şêweya peykerî bi rehetiya ergonomîk re dike yek.

Production Technology: Every detail of the Corcovado Sofa is designed to connect, to express a narrative where form follows function, and both follow fantasy. With it, Victor Leite reaffirms his position as a product designer and brand curator in the high decoration segment. The sofa is a testament to his commitment not only to aesthetics and comfort, but also to the idea that a design object should inspire, should speak to the space and to those who inhabit it.
Design Challenge: The most difficult part of the design of the Corcovado Sofa was to balance aesthetic innovation with ergonomics. The creative challenge was to create a sculptural piece inspired by nature without sacrificing comfort. Obstacles included material and technology limitations for shaping complex shapes, as well as adjusting the design to meet ergonomic standards. External factors, such as production technologies and material availability, also influenced the final choices.
Research: The design research of the Corcovado Sofa was qualitative, aiming to create a piece of furniture that combined sculptural form with comfort. Interviews, 3D prototypes and ergonomic tests were used. Participants included users and design experts. The results showed the need for adjustments in the structure. The insights revealed the value of organic aesthetics in functionality. The research impacted design, promoting innovation and meeting market and social demands.
