About The Flight Of The Razorbill Kohinga Taputapu Whare mō Waho
Ko Te Rerenga o te Razorbill he kohinga taputapu whare mō waho, e whakaurua ana ki tētahi tūru, tētahi tēpu me tētahi taonga whakamarama. Kua hangaia te kohinga ki te Fenix, he rawa hangarau-nano me tōna mata tino kōhatu-kore, he mata aukati-tapa-matimati, me ōna āhuatanga whakaora-anō-i-a-ia-anō mā te wera. I te nuinga o te wā ka whakamahia te Fenix ki roto i ngā whare, ā, ka whakahāngaitia e tēnei kohinga te rawa ki te whakamahinga o waho. E whai ana ngā āhua i tētahi rangahau tauira-koiora o te tinana rererangi-pai o te manu moana, te Razorbill. Nā te whakatauira matihiko me te hanganga CNC tōtika i hanga ngā āhuahanga haere tonu.

- Unique Properties
- The Flight of the Razorbill is an outdoor furniture collection composed of a chair, table, and lighting piece crafted in Fenix®. Inspired by the aerodynamic silhouette of the Razorbill seabird, the design translates the sensation of flight into clean, sculptural forms. Its strength lies in the innovative use of Fenix®—typically applied in interiors—reimagined here for outdoor use, achieving a refined balance between durability, tactile quality, and architectural elegance.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Chair: 450 x 500 x 810 mm
Table: 1640 x 1640 x 730 mm
Lamp: 400 x 160 x 1350 mm - Tags
- Table, Chair, Lamp, Light, furniture, fenix, exterior, dinning
- Production Technology
- The collection was developed through a biomimetic design methodology, translating the aerodynamic geometry of the Razorbill into structural furniture forms. The pieces are fabricated using Fenix®, a high-performance nanotech material known for its ultra-matte surface, anti-fingerprint properties, and thermal self-healing capability. Digital modeling and precision CNC fabrication enabled the creation of continuous, refined geometries while ensuring durability and suitability for outdoor environments.
- Inspiration
- This project originates from a biomimetic approach, studying the Razorbill seabird’s aerodynamic body and efficient structure as a source of design intelligence. Its flight inspired a language of light yet stable forms. The research also explored the innovative use of Fenix®, whose self-healing and regenerative surface properties echo natural resilience, reinforcing the concept of furniture that learns from nature’s efficiency and durability.
