About Gis ڪرسي

گيس هڪ ٽن ٽنگن واري ڪاٺ جي ڪرسي آهي جنهن ۾ برونز جا پير آهن ۽ اها ٻن اخروٽ جي ڪاٺن مان شاندار هنرمندي سان تراشي وئي آهي ته جيئن هڪ مجسمي وانگر نظر اچي. ڪاٺ جي ڳنڍن ۽ نشانن کي ظاهر رکيو ويو آهي ته جيئن شين کي هڪ خاص خصوصيت ملي. پنهنجي غير معمولي شڪل جي باوجود، گيس وکر ۽ زاوين جي محتاط ڊزائن جي ڪري جسماني آرام ڏيندڙ آهي. هي ڊزائن مضبوط ڪاٺ جي امڪانن جي ڳولا آهي ۽ پڻ فن ۽ ڊزائن، خوبصورتي ۽ ڪارڪردگي جي ڪناري تي هڪ سفر آهي.

Unique Properties
Gis is a three-legged wooden chair with bronze feet and is carved out from two walnut logs with exquisite craftsmanship to seem as a sculpture. The wood knots and scars are remained exposed to give the objects a special characteristic. Despite its uncanny appearance, Gis is ergonomic due to the careful design of curves and angles. The design is an exploration of solid wood possibilities and also is a walk on the edge of "Art" and "Design", "Beauty" and "Function".

Design Challenge
The holy grail of this design was to reach a sculptural Persian aesthetic as the sprit for the body of “furniture design”.
Research
This chair is a part of the Konj-e-Hess collection.
This collection is an exploration through which we try to answer a question: “Unrelated to the surrounding space, can we create objects that intrinsically radiate a place of their own, and create a “Konj-e-Hess”.
Konj-e-Hess was after a new measuring unit for aesthetics in design. Quite similar to how Iran and its culture sit in the middle on the world map, Konj-e-Hess tells a centrist narrative too. Somewhere on a sharp blade, it cuts off “tenacious design assumptions”; preconceived notions of the sort that “Media” inundates our minds with.
Inspiration
Gis has odd yet familiar visual qualities. That is why it steals the spotlight and sets its own place. The main leg's dainty form is inspired by a girl's ponytail; the premise from which the chair takes its name from. In Farsi, "Gis" means the tumble of a woman’s hair.
Project Duration
The project started in March 2019 and finished in September 2019 in Tehran, Iran and was exhibited as a part of "Konj-e-Hess" exhibition.
Operation Flow
Gis has sculptural qualities in its presence in the interior space. This chair is designed with an artistic approach in design to be a "good chair" and also an elegence piece of "art".
