About Formation 01 Umpompi Wasebhavini
I-Formation 01 iwumpompi wasebhavini okhiqizwe ngenani elilinganiselwe. Umklamo uhlanganisa isimo esifana nomsebenzi wobuciko bokuqopha nobunjiniyela obuthuthukile futhi wakhiwe nge-Neolast, okuyimpahla exubile evumela ukuthinteka okungalindelekile nombala ocebile, ogcwele. Ama-engeli ahlabahlosile nokugcotshwa nge-Haptic Orange enesibindi kuyaphambuka ezilindelweni zendabuko zompompi. Indlela yamanzi yangaphakathi eyaphrintwa nge-3D idala ukugeleza kwamanzi okuyisheet. Ipuleti le-escutcheon lensimbi ebunjiwe (cast iron) elinemibhalo eqhamile libhekisela emlandweni omude wokusungulwa kwezimpahla. Umpompi ulinganiselwa ku-300 mm ububanzi, 207 mm ukujula kanye no-135 mm ukuphakama.
About the Umklomelo Weplatinamu we-A' Design Award
Formation 01 Umpompi Wasebhavini iwinile uMklomelo Weplatinamu we-A' Design Award, ukwaziswa okuhloniphekile kakhulu okunikezwa imiklamo eyiqiniso eyingqayizivele, ebukekayo nenobukhosi. Abawinile bePlatinamu yizimangaliso zokudalwa, ubufakazi bemingcele yobuhlakani bokudala, futhi babonisa ubungcweti nobuhlakani obungenakuqhathaniswa babaklami babo. Le miklamo ilindeleke ukuba ibe yimisebenzi edume kakhulu echaza ubuhle besikhathi, enikela ekuhlalakahleni komphakathi futhi isunduza imingcele yobuciko, isayensi, ukuklama nobuchwepheshe. Formation 01 Umpompi Wasebhavini ibonisa izinga elingaphezu kwejwayelekile lobuhle futhi ngokungangabazeki yenza umhlaba ube yindawo engcono ngezimfanelo zayo eziluthandwa nezibalulekile. Formation 01 Umpompi Wasebhavini ngumsebenzi owinile uMklomelo Weplatinamu we-A' Design Award ovusa izifiso, ukhuthaza, ujabulisa futhi udale injabulo enkulu.

- Production Technology
- To realize Samuel Ross’ creative vision, Kohler invited him to explore an advanced new composite material that offers boundless form, unexpected texture, and rich, saturated colors. A 3D-printed internal waterway was developed to accomplish the unique sheet flow effect. An embossed cast iron escutcheon plate celebrates our collaboration in an homage to Kohler’s history of material innovation.
- Inspiration
- Combining dynamic gesture with advanced engineering, Formation 01 takes a familiar object and reimagines it as a functional sculpture in Kohler's dynamic Neolast composite material.
- Project Duration
- This project was initiated in late 2022 with collaboration between Kohler and SR_A's studios in the US and UK, respectively. The project launched at Design:Miami in 2023.
