About Era 无靠背椅

Era是一款无靠背座椅,以雕塑感的坐具形态为室内空间而设计。底座由固定于上下两根横杆之间的金属棒构成,上下横杆各由一个金属环支撑,环上按精确计算的角度开孔。金属棒围绕中心轴线旋转排列,光线在这些线条间的反射营造出流动感。所有紧固件均被隐藏,使整体结构呈现为纯粹清晰的形态。座面覆以海绵与皮革,内部设有胶合板承托板,防止海绵变形。Era高500毫米,宽450毫米,深450毫米。

Unique Properties: The goal of this project was to make a unique stool that in itself can be a convincing and prominent element for the user and the room.

Tags: furniture, stool, brass, arsalan ghadimi, ghafdesign, leather, iran
Production Technology: The rods are fixed at the top and bottom poles, each by a metal ring, each of which has a calculated angle hole. The stool is covered with a foam and a leather cover, and a plywood plate is embedded in the seat to prevent the foam from deforming.
Design Challenge: The clearness of the design was one of the main intentions during the whole development period. That meant that no visible fastening elements were allowed. These objectives together required the invention of an ingenious, yet simple solution to completely hide the fastening elements for the poles. Probably this was the hardest part of the development.
Research: Until the final form of Era was realized, diverse prototypes has been constructed to get the best possible look. All the angles, number and diameter of poles, the final colors, the exact shape of the ring was researched in many ways. We have also made numerous experiments with the SLS technology, to reach the desired quality and perfect assembly tolerances for the manufacturing of the product.
Inspiration: The main idea of the quadruped is derived from nature. The circular rotation around a axis makes it look like a tornado. Regular repetition of lines at the base of stool has made it a modern sculpture
Project Duration: This project started in April of 2018 in Tehran, Iran.
Operation Flow: It is part of a new living style that, due to its special shape, can create a unique landscape as a unit or even in combination with other components of the interior.
