The Design

About Era Sedile Sine Dorso

Era est sedile sine dorso, tamquam elementum sedendi sculpturale ad interiora conceptum. Basis ex virgis metallicis conformatur, inter polum superiorem et inferiorem fixis, quarum utraque ab anulo metallico foraminibus ad angulos computatos dispositis tenetur. Virgae circa axem centralem vertuntur, et lucis reflexio inter lineas sensum motus creat. Omnia elementa firmandi occultantur, ita ut structura tamquam forma clara legatur. Sedes spongia et corio tegitur, et lamina tabulata intus posita spongiam a deformatione prohibet. Era 500 millimetra alta, 450 lata et 450 profunda metitur.

Production Technology
The rods are fixed at the top and bottom poles, each by a metal ring, each of which has a calculated angle hole. The stool is covered with a foam and a leather cover, and a plywood plate is embedded in the seat to prevent the foam from deforming.
Design Challenge
The clearness of the design was one of the main intentions during the whole development period. That meant that no visible fastening elements were allowed. These objectives together required the invention of an ingenious, yet simple solution to completely hide the fastening elements for the poles. Probably this was the hardest part of the development.
Research
Until the final form of Era was realized, diverse prototypes has been constructed to get the best possible look. All the angles, number and diameter of poles, the final colors, the exact shape of the ring was researched in many ways. We have also made numerous experiments with the SLS technology, to reach the desired quality and perfect assembly tolerances for the manufacturing of the product.
Inspiration
The main idea of the quadruped is derived from nature. The circular rotation around a axis makes it look like a tornado. Regular repetition of lines at the base of stool has made it a modern sculpture
Project Duration
This project started in April of 2018 in Tehran, Iran.
Operation Flow
It is part of a new living style that, due to its special shape, can create a unique landscape as a unit or even in combination with other components of the interior.
