About Shell Kiti cha Sofa

Shell ni sofa inayoweza kubadilishwa umbo, iliyoundwa kwa ajili ya nyumbani na maeneo ya umma kama shule na vituo vya ununuzi. Mgongo wa sofa ni rahisi kunyumbulika na unaweza kuhamishwa kwa mienendo michache rahisi. Shell inaweza kutumika kama sofa ya kupumzikia, sofa yenye pande mbili za matumizi, au kiti cha kukalia miguu (ottoman). Muundo wa msingi umetengenezwa kwa chuma na umefunikwa kwa kitambaa pamoja na kijazo laini. Sofa hii ina urefu wa milimita 1800, urefu wa juu wa milimita 1200, na kina cha milimita 800. Kuna rangi mbili zinazopatikana: nyeupe na kijivu yenye mito ya rangi ya dhahabu, na kijivu iliyokolea yenye mito ya rangi nyekundu. Uwezo huu wa kubadilika umbo huruhusu sofa kutumika tena pale chumba kinapobadilishwa matumizi yake.

Design Challenge
To show object transformation capabilities, its universality, reuse. To induce an emotional response from the viewer.
Research
Functions: 1. For public spaces in which various events are often held (schools, colleges, shopping centers, exhibition centers). 2. And also for residential small spaces, with the need to change the functions of the room. 3. For standard and large living spaces, so that the design of the sofa allows reuse when changing the design.
Inspiration
Marine inhabitants often use shells to change the functions of their bodies. I wanted to use that principle for the couch. By applying a little fantasy, a person can change it and turn into other pieces of furniture. This ability gives positive emotions, and it may be very useful when changing the design or functionality of the room so that a person can use the sofa again. Repeated use of furniture has a great impact on the environment.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2018 in Moscow and finished in May 2018 in Moscow.
Operation Flow
A person can have a totally new experience interacting with this piece of furniture. You can use a couple of movements to move the back of the sofa and transform it depending on what you need at the moment: to meet guests, sit down or take a nap.
