The Design

About Oo2 Escrivaninha

Oo2 é uma escrivaninha executiva que possui uma face feminina. A forma geral da mesa consiste em dois cubos, um atua como superfície de trabalho e o outro como caixa de armazenamento. Placas de madeira curvada cobrem os cubos e conferem-lhes elegância e riqueza visual. Pernas finas conectam os cubos e finalmente os apoiam no solo. O objetivo ao projetar a Oo2 foi alcançar uma forma que fosse funcional e parecesse luxuosa, elegante e feminina, sendo ao mesmo tempo simples.

Production Technology: The cubes that make up the overall form are made of wood and painted. Curved panels are made of bent and compressed wooden layers that are either painted or covered with steel sheet. A very thin groove is embedded on the work surface, and a steel bar is placed inside it to define the area of the leather under the user's hand in addition to the beauty. The inside of the drawers are covered with red velvet and the bronze handles of the drawers are decorated with jewels.
Design Challenge: providing the stability of the table while maintaining the elegance of the bases was the main issue for the construction of oo2. For this purpose, bends were created in the metal bases to increase the resistance of the thin bars against lateral forces, and also to connect the bases to the table, a network of crossed bars in the form of three branches was designed to create a secure connection. At the point of connection of the base to the ground, a separate piece was designed, which is connected to the base with three screws to be resistant to joint forces and to prevent the end of the base from bending.

The goal in designing oo2 was to achieve a form that would be functional and look luxurious, elegant and feminine at the same time as being simple. oo2 is inspired by the qualities and details of female beauty. Coco Chanel's way of thinking in 1920-1930 in introducing modern women has been the role model in this project.
For this reason, black and white color was considered as the main color and pieces of bronze and jade stone were used to evoke ornaments. Delicate legs were prominently displayed to remind a woman in the LBD(a dress by coco chanel).
oo is written as oo in Farsi and is the third person singular pronoun. The name of this object refers to an absent woman, a woman who is not present, but is embodied.
