- 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
