The Design
About Ravaq Masa
Ravaq își propune să reînnoiască măreția acelor tavane moqarnas acoperite cu oglinzi la o scară mai mică. Aceste forme sunt înrădăcinate într-o tradiție de 1000 de ani, iar reconstrucția lor modernă leagă vechiul cu contemporanul. Ravaq reflectă culorile înconjurătoare din diferite unghiuri pentru a se potrivi cu locul pe care merge mai frumos. Principala provocare a ravaq a fost crearea de forme noi și inovatoare, dintr-un model și un motiv tradițional, astfel încât, odată ce vă confruntați cu întregul model, autenticitatea acestuia vă duce înapoi în timp, în timp ce îl utilizați în continuare cu mobilier modern.

- Production Technology
- The main idea in producing ravaq was a high quality and perfect production, so we have used CNC cutting a stainless steel and glass sheets to minimize human error. The main materials its production are stainless steel and color glasses.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge of this project was to create new and innovative forms from a traditional pattern and motif so that once you are faced by the whole pattern, its authenticity takes you back in time while you are still use that with modern furniture.
- Research
- Research on this project began by focusing on Persian architectural, geometrical patterns. Our aim was to use this two dimensional geometry and pattern to create three dimensional masses. Our main aesthetics priority was not to get trapped in repeating old fashioned forms and to create postmodern forms with new material.
- Inspiration
- Moqarnas is one of the mast important elements of Persian architecture. First it was used as columns’ to buttress domes and mosques ceilings. Then however, it became mainly a decorative element of the building these ceilings are usually covered with mosaic-style mirrors in order to maximize light reflection at any angle.
- Project Duration
- I have been researching on Iranian-Islamic geometric designs and patterns in the last year and have been trying to design some furniture
which is inspired by ancient Iranian architectural motifs. This and some other projects that I have done are the results of this endeavour. This project has been mass produced in Iran last December. - Operation Flow
- Ravaq is a special side table which evokes a beautiful volume of architectural in the performance environment. The main mass of the stainless steel is a mirror that interacts with the space itself.
