The Design

About Asa Sideboard

Dëse Projet gouf aus enger traditioneller Folklore dekorativen Schrëft inspiréiert. Et gëtt mat enger Kombinatioun vu rout, blo, blo-schwaarz, gréng, Ueleg a khaki Faarwen presentéiert. Et gëtt ugeholl datt et als Sideboard wéi och als Dekoratiounsobjekt souwuel a modernen a klassesche Haiser benotzt gëtt. Et probéiert d'Traditioun mam modernen Liewen ze bestueden. Et weist de Wee fir un d'Wuerzelen ze erënneren, awer och an d'Zukunft ze kucken. Et weist d'Transformatioun vun eppes Ales an eppes Neies. Einfachheet mat engem Hiweis vun Eleganz.

Design Challenge: The original investigation, focused on the draft form and more specifically to these shapes .The main goal was to fit the particular images, in absolute perfection, to the dimensions of the object, combining colors, shapes and sizes. The technical part of producing the specific object , can be only achieved with a special printer that can capture this particular project with every necessary detail.
Research: The original investigation focused on the draft form and more specifically to these shapes.
In their final form in their final dimension to shape as well as the dimensions of these and of course to the combination of such diverse and disparate shapes and definitive end to the combination of colors
Subsequent to the technical performance of the scheme in the wood through a specific printer that could capture the particular project in every detail.
Inspiration: In our effort to interpret new and different cultures, we can lead to paths unknown, that had never been imagined. On these paths, we discover new themes, untold stories, interesting shapes, unrevealed colours. In this diversity that might have seemed important in the beginning, we might recognize another personality of us that might had been well hidden.My basic inspiration was the Indian art of tattoos; my attempt was to reveal something that I love, by creating something with a particular theme, dimension and subject.
Project Duration: This project is in a concept stage & has not been prototyped or constructed. The concept work started in January of 2017 & ended by the end of February 2017.
Operation Flow: The primary function is as a storage unit, but the combination of simplicity and the imposing form, transforms it into a powerful piece of decoration for any contemporary or traditional house.
