About Eureka Nofoa Mālōlō
O le Eureka o se nofoa mālōlō ua mamanuina mo potu malolo. O le foliga o le Eureka e faavae i luga o le Enneper surface, o se faataitaiga faa-matematika e maua ai e le nofoa se lagona o le faatulagaga lelei ma le tafega. O le fausaga lagolago maoae e tumau lona mautu ma maua ai le mafanafana ergonomic. O pito piʻo e faaopoopo ai le faanaunauga vaaia ma valaaulia ai le tagata e nofo pe taoto i lalo. O le itu i totonu e faia i le tioata uʻamea faavaeina (moulded glass steel) ma e ufiufi i le ie fulufulu mamoe mai le faasologa o le Kvadrat Sprinkles. E fetuutuunai le ie i itu uma ma faaali mai ai togitogi felanulanuaʻi e suia e tusa ai ma le itu e vaai mai ai.

- Production Technology
- The interior is made of glass steel with mould, covering with fabric made of wools from Kvadrat Sprinkles series. The kaleidoscopic colored dots make the fabric look different in different viewing angle. This special fabric can be stretched from all directions, making it the ideal material for curved deck chair.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge in the design process was to find a technical solution that integrates the highest level of aesthetic, comfort and sustainability. As a result, the Enneper was the final choice aiming to harmonize the overall sense of flow and order through the curved structure conforming to the mathematical model, and to ensure ergonomics and comfort with its unique design.
- Research
- Form comes first followed by function and ergonomics in the design process. The designers settled on Enneper surface after studying mathematical models in the nature, presented in pure geometric shapes. With the observation of nature, the shape is endowed with various functions, including backrest, chair legs and so on.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the smallest Enneper in the nature, Eureka Lounge Chair is stable with a sense of flow, a high light in modern interior design. The unique colorful dots changes in visual with the viewing angle echoing the flow effect of the curved chair with impressive aesthetic.
- Project Duration
- The project was designed and developed in Beijing in January 2021 and launched in China in November 2022.
- Operation Flow
- Interaction with the user is generated from the appeal of mathematical order through organic form. Arcs at the edges add some tension to the product, inviting the user to sit or lie down comfortably. Shapes with a sense of order and warm colors allow users to perceive the comfort of furniture before using it, triggering users to actual use to prove this feeling.
