About Bubble Primary Function: Урындык
Bubble — шәхси йортлар һәм иҗтимагый интерьерлар өчен коллекцион сәнгать әсәре буларак уйланылган урындык. Түгәрәкләнгән формалар һавалы йомшаклыкны хәтерләтә, әмма каркас нык алюминийдан кулдан коелган, шулай итеп тышкы кыяфәт белән материал арасында контраст барлыкка килә. Алюминий үзенең пластиклыгы өчен сайланган, дизайнер аны иң җанлы материал дип саный. Урындык кул эше һәм кою ярдәмендә эшләнә, ә өслеге атлас өчен матлы ялтырау бирелә. Аңа сигез ай һәм сиксән килограмм металл кирәк булган, бу утыргычка үзенчәлекле тукыма-фактура биргән.

- Unique Properties
- Bubble chair - is not what it seems. From lightly inflated visual forms you can expect airy lightness: but the frame itself is cast by hand from a very robust aluminium. In front of us we have an interesting example of a conflict between form and content, which completely changes features and perception of the object itself. Choice of using aluminium was determined by its plasticity: in designers opinion, this is the most «alive» material out there.

- Production Technology
- During the process of manufacturing the BUBBLE chair, only handcrafted labour was used as well as injection moulding technique. Material used is aluminium which has been purposely satined so it has a noble matte gloss. It took 8 months and 80kg of metall for a casting professional to manufacture the piece. Metal was given freedom, which in its turn has given it a unique texture, so the energy of the of the object can literally be felt by your skin.
- Design Challenge
- Designer calls his style «serious fun». This style can be found in all of his latest objects. Hard and soft. Hot and cold. Tender and brutal. At the junction of the opposites is where you find everything that is of most interest.
- Research
- In the past few years the designer of BUBBLE has been gravitating towards rounded inflated shapes. Since his early childhood he has been dreaming about sitting on top of a hot air balloon - and today he has a great opportunity to make his dream come true. But on a different level and with a different philosophy.
- Inspiration
- Use of natural materials and manual labour is done out of respect to traditional approach, where the master shares warmth of his hands and part of his inner-self. BUBBLE for its creators is almost a living creature, a metal monster with a gentle soul. When you sit in it, you can almost sense its friendliness, support and security.
- Project Duration
- 8 months
Khabarovsk city, Russian Federation - Operation Flow
- It is an interior oxymoron, a toy for people who appreciate a paradox. Soft on the outside, hard on the touch, strange in its form, with unusual texture. It also posseses an appropriate temper: in the shadow BUBBLE projects a cosmic chill, in the sun it becomes a real «hot thing» (what else can you expect from aluminium). This chair can be an art piece in the hallway of a collector, or it can attract visitors attention in the lobby of a public space. But what can be said about BUBBLE for sure - is that nobody can call it boring.
