Production Technology

The cubes that make up the overall form are made of wood and painted. Curved panels are made of bent and compressed wooden layers that are either painted or covered with steel sheet. A very thin groove is embedded on the work surface, and a steel bar is placed inside it to define the area of the leather under the user's hand in addition to the beauty. The inside of the drawers are covered with red velvet and the bronze handles of the drawers are decorated with jewels.

Design Challenge

providing the stability of the table while maintaining the elegance of the bases was the main issue for the construction of oo2. For this purpose, bends were created in the metal bases to increase the resistance of the thin bars against lateral forces, and also to connect the bases to the table, a network of crossed bars in the form of three branches was designed to create a secure connection. At the point of connection of the base to the ground, a separate piece was designed, which is connected to the base with three screws to be resistant to joint forces and to prevent the end of the base from bending.

Project Duration

The project designed in 2021 in tehran, Iran.

Operation Flow

In the design of oo2, it has been tried to show elegance and beauty in general and at the same time be impressive and seductive in its simplicity (in the architectural space). The main impact of this object on the user is determined when using and paying attention to details. The curves, the velvet inside the drawers, the bronze handles decorated with jewels all arouse the sense of perfectionism, self-confidence and increase the pleasure in the user and provide him an exciting experience.

Research

oo2 is a management desk that has a female face. The general form of the table consists of two cubes, one acts as a work surface and the other as a storage box. Plates of bent wood cover the cubes and give them elegance and visual richness. Thin bases connect the cubes and finally place them on the ground.
The goal in designing oo2 was to achieve a form that would be functional and look luxurious, elegant and feminine at the same time as being simple. oo2 is inspired by the qualities and details of female beauty. Coco Chanel's way of thinking in 1920-1930 in introducing modern women has been the role model in this project.
For this reason, black and white color was considered as the main color and pieces of bronze and jade stone were used to evoke ornaments. Delicate legs were prominently displayed to remind a woman in the LBD(a dress by coco chanel).
oo is written as oo in Farsi and is the third person singular pronoun. The name of this object refers to an absent woman, a woman who is not present, but is embodied.
