Production Technology

These objects belong to a set of furniture produced by a state-of-the-art 3d printing system combined with fiberglass technology and handcrafting for the final refinements.

Design Challenge

The main challenge was to meet the market demand for modern furniture in various forms of protective symbols, transforming the animal shapes to the pieces with the same emotion, joining performance and aesthetics beside emotional connection between the Guardians and the users.

Research

In designing Guardians, the designer studied the anatomy of the animals for creating objects that evoke energy and agility.

Inspiration

For millenniums, animals have been an inseparable part of human life. Zoomorphic motives dominated prehistoric art and have survived up until our era. Traditional crafts, such as carpet weaving and pottery, draw inspiration from the zoomorphic iconography. Positive human-animal relationships can provoke positive emotions, in fact, animals have been a source of inspiration for many modern artists and designers.

Project Duration

The project has been designed and presented in the Patternitecture exhibition in Tehran in August 2021.

Operation Flow

This project is designed to encourage the sense of thinking, reasoning, and not simply disregarding the events and the world around.
