About Ori د تاکید ناسته چوکی

اوري یوه تاکید ناسته چوکی ده چې د اوریگامي هنر او د یو څیروتلي خُوښ (نخل) پاڼې بڼې څخه الهام اخلي. دیزاین د کاغذ ښخولو (تاؤولو) بڼه په فلزي ښخولو (تاؤولو) بدلوي. نری زنګ نه اخیستونکی (galvanised) فلز دې چوکۍ ته ټینګوالی او یوه رڼا، د کاغذ په څیر بڼه ورکوي چې د بیرون کارونې لپاره مناسبه ده. لرګی یوازې د کیناستنې ځای او د شا ولاړي برخې کې کارول شوی ترڅو د ناستې آسانتیا ښه شي. پیچلي (بولټونه) او مقناطیسونه د ښخول شویو برخو یو ځای کول د یوې پاکې پایلې سره یوځای کوي. چوکۍ د ساده بستې بندۍ او لیږد لپاره ښخیدلای شي. رنگونه د لمر ګل (سنفلاور) څخه اخیستل شوي دي. غیر ښخ شویو ابعادو کې لوړوالی ۸۸۰ ملي متره او قطر یې ۹۵۰ ملي متره دی.

Unique Properties
Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, is an ancient art form that converts paper into 3d objects. Based on this principle, the Ori chair derives its concept. The design translates paper folding into metal folding and, ultimately, a unique piece of furniture.
Dimensions & Packaging
Folding metal comes with its own set of challenges to achieve ergonomically comfortable seating. The idea behind the chair using the origami technique was to ease the packaging and delivery. The Ori Chair can be easily folded up and packed into a small box, considerably reducing the volume of the package. It uses simple mechanisms to attach into one piece giving it a crisp and clean finish. 880mm(h) x 950mm(dia.) are the unfolded chair's dimensions.

Production Technology
The sturdy but thin metal used in the chair is galvanised to take on the harsh outdoors while visually being light as paper. Metal being a cradle-to-cradle material propagates sustainable development. Wood is used as moderating material to provide the comfort of seating instead of the harshness of the metal. Its use is restricted only to crucial parts, including the seating and backrest of the chair.
Design Challenge
The Ori chair challenged our 7 years of experience working with metal since combining metal with origami techniques in itself is a challenge. Working on relieving pressure at the ridges by bringing in the right slit dimension and connecting the bridge between two slits to avoid sheer in metal proved strenuous. Break-through was about getting it right for an individual to bend manually by hands. It became essential to hit the sweet spot for the number of folds to get perfect ergonomics which finally came through trials and errors.
Research
The structure of a ruffled palm leaf is uniquely formed in nature. The broad circular leaf spanning up to 5ft in diameter originates from one thin branch. This plant leaf inspires the shape and form of the Ori chair. Origami technique became the yin yang fit for translating the ruffled palm leaf form into an ergonomically designed furniture piece. The chairs' colours are derived from the sunflower, making it a stark piece of art as well.
Inspiration
The Ori chair is a translation of the art of Origami into metal folding and, ultimately, a unique piece of furniture. It uses the colour combinations of a Sunflower. Bright yellow expresses a bold presence of the chair as an art piece. The trend of earthen finishes and materials are primarily used in architecture, interior, and landscape design. The colours blended with minimal design flares draw attention while complementing confined interiors or outdoor space.
Project Duration
The project research started in 2020 and was finished in 3 months
Operation Flow
The Ori chair uses a mechanism based on the principle of origami. It uses simple tools like bolts and magnets to assemble itself into a useable piece of furniture.
