About Frequency Asa kojakoja
Frequency dia fitambarana fanaka voafetra isan'andiany ahitana seza filonana, jiro, seza, ary latabatra kely, samy nahazo aingam-panahy avy amin'ny haavon-feo mifandray amin'ny fanasitranana sy ny fifandanjana ara-pihetseham-po. Vita amin'ny aluminium voapotsipotsika, ireo sanganasa dia novolavolaina tamin'ny fampiasana fitaovana fanehoana feo sy modelitra nomerika, avy eo namboarina tamin'ny teknika fanidinana nentim-paharazana. Ity fitambarana ity dia manova ny onjam-peo tsy hita maso ho lasa endrika sary sokitra azo tsapain-tanana izay manasa ny fifandraisana ara-tsaina sy ara-pihetseham-po.

- Production Technology
- The Frequency collection is an experimental design proposal that combines art and functionality, drawing inspiration from sound frequencies to promote healing and well being. Using advanced technology, such as sound visualizers, the ergonomic shapes of the pieces were designed to adapt to the body, creating a balanced emotional and physical experience. The use of aluminum, crafted with artisanal techniques, not only highlights the tradition of pre Hispanic metallurgy enriched by Spanish influence but also explores the contemporary possibilities of this noble material. These limited edition sculptural objects stand out for their technical precision and their ability to bring a sense of calm and harmony to the spaces they inhabit. This innovative collection reflects a balance between tradition and technology, achieving unique furniture pieces that connect design with profound emotions and cultural heritage.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was materializing invisible sound frequencies into ergonomic and symbolic forms. Internally, the design had to balance cultural references and modern aesthetics. Externally, aluminum casting required precise execution to maintain both structural integrity and surface quality, blending experimental methods with traditional metalwork to achieve emotional resonance.
- Research
- Experimental design research translated sound frequencies into visual and ergonomic forms using sound visualizers. Focused on emotional healing through interaction, the project mapped frequencies such as 432Hz and 741Hz into material patterns. Research participants reported enhanced sensory and emotional response. The study bridges aesthetics, psychology, and artisanal techniques for well-being through design.
- Inspiration
- The idea is to explore how the intangible, like sound, can be transformed into a physical and perceptible form. Inspired by the transformative power of healing sound frequencies, Frequency 2.0 explores how resonance can be translated into physical form. Drawing from cymatics and spiritual acoustics, the project visualizes frequencies like 432Hz and 741Hz through sound visualizers, creating objects that channel emotional balance and clarity. The inspiration lies in creating emotional connections through sensory interaction and intentional form.
- Project Duration
- The project began in January 2024 and concluded in May 2025 in Mexico City. Frequency 2.0 was presented in June 2025 as a continuation of Sebastian Angeles’ exploration of the relationship between sound and matter.
- Operation Flow
- Each piece invites tactile and emotional interaction. The chairs’ ergonomic shapes adapt to the body, offering comfort and symbolic resonance. The lamp creates ambient calm through diffused light, while the side table’s surface evokes harmony. Aluminum amplifies sensory cues with subtle vibrations, reinforcing the connection between user, space, and sound-based intention.
