About Vague Tūru Kore Tuarā
He tūru kore tuarā a Vague i hangaia e ngā ānau hanganga haere tonu. Ka whakaatu ia tirohanga i tētahi whakatakotoranga ātaahua rerekē. He ngongo rino a Vague, e 5/16 īnihi te whānui o te hangarite, i whakaahuahia mā te whakapiko, ā, i honoa mā te whitiweri. Ka whakaotia te mata ki te peita hikohiko-tū, ki te paninga konukura rānei. Ko ngā rahinga he 400 mitamano te whānui, he 390 mitamano te hōhonu, he 420 mitamano te teitei. I whakaawehia ngā ānau e ngā ngaru o te pata wai e taka ana ki roto i te awa, me te hanganga o ngā rau. Ka taea a Vague te whakamahi hei nohoanga, hei taonga whakapaipai rānei.

- Vague uses as material steel tubes with 5/16 inch diameter and the production is made by bending and welding (TIG type).
After that, it receives an electrostatic paint or a copper coating finish. - Design Challenge
- The hardest part of creating Vague was the cad 3d modeling.
Several studies have been done to achieve the perfect shape. - Research
- Vague was inspired by nature, combining the structure of the leaves with the rising curves of a water droplet falling into a river, where a perfect, vibrant and continuous ripple takes shape.
- Inspiration
- Vague is French for wave - a name inspired by the rising curves of a water droplet falling into a river, where a perfect, vibrant and continuous ripple takes shape. The piece’s visual lightness embraces only the bare essential for its purpose, and that inspiration stemmed from carefully observing nature’s wisdom.
- Project Duration
- Vague was designed in São Paulo on April 2020 and has been produced in southern Brazil since August.
- Operation Flow
- Vague can be used as a simple stool but also as a piece of art, as its beauty creates a great highlight on environments.
