About Shell Anga
Ko Anga he sofa hurihuri i hangaia mō ngā kāinga me ngā wāhi tūmatanui pēnei i ngā kura me ngā pokapū hokohoko. He mīrore te tuarā o te sofa, ā, ka taea te neke i runga i ētahi nekehanga ngāwari noa. Ka taea te whakamahi i a Anga hei sofa okiokinga, hei sofa rua-taha rānei, hei ottoman hoki. Ka hangaia te anga ki te whakarewa, ā, ka hipokina ki te kaka me te whakakī ngāwari. Ko ngā mehua o te sofa he 1800 mm te roa, 1200 mm te teitei, me te 800 mm te hōhonu. E rua ngā momo tae kua tukuna: mā me te hina me ngā urunga kōura, me te hina pōuri me ngā urunga whero.

- Production Technology
- Metal frame, fabric, soft filler.
- Design Challenge
- To show object transformation capabilities, its universality, reuse. To induce an emotional response from the viewer.
- Research
- Functions: 1. For public spaces in which various events are often held (schools, colleges, shopping centers, exhibition centers). 2. And also for residential small spaces, with the need to change the functions of the room. 3. For standard and large living spaces, so that the design of the sofa allows reuse when changing the design.
- Inspiration
- Marine inhabitants often use shells to change the functions of their bodies. I wanted to use that principle for the couch. By applying a little fantasy, a person can change it and turn into other pieces of furniture. This ability gives positive emotions, and it may be very useful when changing the design or functionality of the room so that a person can use the sofa again. Repeated use of furniture has a great impact on the environment.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2018 in Moscow and finished in May 2018 in Moscow.
- Operation Flow
- A person can have a totally new experience interacting with this piece of furniture. You can use a couple of movements to move the back of the sofa and transform it depending on what you need at the moment: to meet guests, sit down or take a nap.
