About Tiramisu Pouf

Pinagsasama ng koleksyon ng Tiramisu ang gamit at istilo. Inspirado sa dessert, pinangalanan itong Tiramisu—na direktang salin ay 'pull me up' o 'hilahin ako pataas,' na nangangahulugang 'pasayahin ako' sa Italyano. Ang dobleng kahulugang ito ang nag-udyok sa disenyo, na naglalayong magdala ng positibong vibrasyon sa espasyo at pahusayin ang pagiging user-friendly sa pamamagitan ng madaling mahawakan at maililipat na anyo nito. Makukuha ang koleksyon ng Tiramisu sa iba't ibang sukat, nag-aalok ng mga pagpipilian na may tapiserya o kahoy na ibabaw, na nagsisilbing kapwa coffee table at pouf.

Production Technology
Body structure is constructed from wood and upholstered. The seat is cushioned with 35-density foam. Tray is crafted from wood.
Design Challenge
Crafting a shape that not only invites touch but also instinctively prompts individuals to lift, the design merges functionality with an effortlessly minimal silhouette. This creative approach seeks to engage users on a tactile level, enhancing the interactive and aesthetic elements of the form. By seamlessly blending the practicality of graspable contours with a commitment to maintaining simplicity, the result is a synthesis of form and function that sparks a unique and intuitive connection with its users.
Research
As living spaces continue to shrink in size, the importance of compact furniture becomes more noticeable. Research explores the growing trend of smaller living spaces in urban settings, driven by factors like population density and sustainability. Multi functional and easily movable pieces offer practical solutions in diverse living scenarios. Based on the researches tiramisu has been created to fulfill various aspects such as design, functionality, and psychological well-being within constrained spaces.
Inspiration
One of the most practical objects at home and at work is a smart compact seating object and a side table that you can easily move around the sofa. The idea is to create an object that is easy to hold and move. It has layers like a Tiramisu dessert and it can become a pouf or coffee table.
Project Duration
Started in Istanbul June 2022, Presented at IMM Cologne 2023
Operation Flow
Tiramisu is a family of poufs and coffee tables. The product has a full base with no extra feet. It can easily be moved around without extra effort. It comes in both wooden and soft seating top to serve in two different functions.
