About Lina Primary Function: Буфет
Book Text: Lina буфет нь гэр бүлийн цуглаанын дурсамж болон эмээгийн гэрийн дурсамжаас санаа авсан юм. Дизайнерын эмээгийн нэрээр нэрлэгдсэн энэ бүтээл нь хаалганы дундуур хуваагдсан цул модон бариулуудаар дамжуулан чимэглэлийн таваг функциональ ба бэлгэдлийн элемент болгон хувиргадаг. Түүний бөөрөнхий их бие болон нуман хэлбэрийн хөлүүд нь уламжлалт орон сууцанд түгээмэл байдаг гулзайлгасан хэлбэрүүдийг эргэн санагдуулж, дотно болон өвөрмөц уламжлалын мэдрэмжийг бэхжүүлдэг. Уг дизайн нь функц, бэлгэдэл болон нөнжигдлийг гоёмсог тавилгад тэнцвэржүүлэн нэгтгэдэг.

- Unique Properties
- The Lina Buffet reinterprets the decorative plate as a functional and symbolic element. Crafted in solid wood and divided into two halves forming the door handles, the plate complements the buffet's function and reinforces its connection to the dining setting, where meals are served and gatherings take place. The rounded forms and arched legs extend the grandmother's home concept, inspired by the curved and arched elements found in traditional architecture.

- Production Technology
- The structure is made of MDF coated with natural wood veneer, while the doors receive a lacquered finish. The base is produced in flat carbon steel, ensuring strength with visual lightness. The handles are machined from solid wood and feature a brass inlay that outlines the plate geometry, combining industrial processes with refined craftsmanship and high-quality finishing.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was integrating a symbolic object with strong cultural and emotional meaning into the functional structure of the buffet, ensuring it would be recognizable and part of the piece. The project required refining the decorative plate, simplifying its elements while preserving its identity, and translating architectural references from traditional houses into the structure through curves and arches without giving the piece a vintage look.
- Research
- This design research explores how cultural memory and symbols from everyday domestic life can inspire contemporary furniture. Drawing from familiar elements present in Brazilian homes, the study reflects on how objects can carry emotional meaning beyond their practical role. Observations of dining rituals, visual references and material exploration guided the process, revealing how subtle symbolic details in furniture can evoke memories, reinforce identity and enrich everyday living experiences.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by memories of family gatherings and meals at the designer's grandmother's house, the Lina Buffet was created. One of the most memorable elements of that home was the decorative wall plates, objects that carry the symbolism of abundance and family heritage. The buffet translates these references into functional furniture, aligned with a search for emotional comfort and identity. It embeds nostalgia into a piece that reconnects people with the home as a place of refuge and belonging.
- Project Duration
- The buffet was developed between May and June 2025, in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
- Operation Flow
- The buffet's double doors open through two halves of a wooden plate that form the handles. Internal compartments organize tableware and items used during gatherings, while the top serves as a surface for serving and display. It connects functional daily use with emotional memory.
