About Drift Koahelo ya Lebota ya Seramaeke e Lwantshang Ditwatsi

Diphanele tsa lebota tsa seramaeke di ka ema ka boyena empa hape di hlola mekgwa ya tswelelopele ya pono ka phetohelo, tshebetso e bulehileng e amanang le ditshwantsho tsa Seislam tse atolosehang ntle le moedi. Kopanyo ya tsona e hlola mekgwa ya dijometri ka potoloho e bonolo ya selapo, ho fihlella boholo bo phahameng ba tlhophiso ka tshebediso e fokolang ya dikarolo tsa kaho. Motheo o lekanya dipakeng tsa dijometri le tse sa itekeng ho lumellana le tikoloho e fapaneng le moya, ka dikgatlego tse fapaneng ho tloha ho tse nyane ho ya ho tse kgolo tsa tekanyo.

About the Moputso oa Platinamo oa A' Design Award

Drift Koahelo ya Lebota ya Seramaeke e Lwantshang Ditwatsi ke mohapi oa Moputso oa Platinamo oa A' Design Award, kananelo e hlomphehang haholo e fuoang meralo e ikhethang ka sebele, e ntle le e khanyang. Bahapi ba Platinamo ke limakatso tsa boqapi, bopaki ba meeli ea boqapi ba kelello, mme ba bontša botsebi bo sa lekanngoeng le bohlale ba baqapi ba bona. Meralo ena e lebelletsoe ho ba mesebetsi e tsebahalang haholo e hlalosang botle ba nako, e kenyang letsoho bophelong bo botle ba sechaba mme e sutumelletsang meeli ea bonono, mahlale, moralo le theknoloji. Drift Koahelo ya Lebota ya Seramaeke e Lwantshang Ditwatsi e bontša boemo bo phahameng ba bokhabane mme ntle le pelaelo e etsa hore lefatše le be sebaka se molemo ka litšobotsi tsa eona tse molemo le tse nang le boleng. Drift Koahelo ya Lebota ya Seramaeke e Lwantshang Ditwatsi ke mosebetsi o hapileng Moputso oa Platinamo oa A' Design Award o tsosang litakatso, o susumetsang, o thabisang mme o tsosang thabo e kholo.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Ceramic wall panels can stand on their own but also develop patterns of visual continuity through modulation, an open ended process referring to Islamic motifs expanding infinitely. Their combination generates geometric patterns by simple rotation of slab, in order to achieve maximum degree of customisation with minimum use of construction elements. Module balances between geometric and abstract to fit different environments and ambience, with applications ranging from small to large scale.
Dimensions & Packaging: Active Surfaces natural materials combine science and design to improve wellbeing in spaces people live in. Active Surfaces turn ceramic slabs into an ecoactive material with four superior properties which are antibacterial and antiviral, antipollution, antiodour and selfcleaning certified to ISO standards. These materials can degrade bacteria and viruses including SARS CoV2, polluting particles and molecules responsible for bad odours. Ecoactive surface is also more resistant to dirt making it easier to clean.

Production Technology: DYS is a versatile on demand decoration service patented by Iris Ceramica, making possible to produce any kind of decoration on ceramic surfaces. The result is a unique customisation that turns ceramics into an authentic art form. Taking advantage of innovative printing possibilities, a dynamic dialogue with technology and progress is materialised combining abstract with geometric. Continuous ripples add plasticity to flat surfaces, reflecting continuity of printing process and technical features behind manufacture of ceramic slabs.
Design Challenge: Underscoring the relation among the conformation and the medium that is composed of, craft becomes a visual expression of the making activity as configuration seizes the memory of raw matter in the finished product. Converting impressions to physicality, place and memory are captured and preserved in space. Interplay of reflections and patterns reveals different textures in pools, spas and wellness centres. A visual reflection of people’s circulation in stations, shopping centres and public areas, flow is converted to spatial experience.
Research: With reference to traditional ceramics illustrating long history of building with earth, pottery lines highlight our common roots and deep connection with earth. Converting environment to artefact by combining natural and humanmade, project strengthens the correlation between material and final product through a conceptual process which underscores links among form and substance. Through visual and physical linkages, ceramic slabs design forges a strong link with what is made of, matter extracted from earth.
Inspiration: Inspired by natural landscape of Emirates the ceramic wall panels capture essence of place while bringing physical scenery in the manufactured. Linear pattern mimics sand ridges as curved and parabolic lines formed by interaction with wind engraving land are translated to fluid geometry, taking cues from landscape topographical contouring. Referring to unique local geography, desert dunes and terrain contours shaped by the wind illustrate how human trace intersects with the trace of time.
Project Duration: The project was completed in 2023.
Operation Flow: Encountering movement and plasticity, vibrations and pulses activate surfaces complementing ceramic slab texture and tactility. Employing metallic inks and tonal adjustments in combination with the wide range of Iris Ceramica slabs, users can add personality and distinctiveness in domestic habitat. Applied as cladding in building envelopes, geometric combinations form a dialogue with mutability of topography and urban environment.
