Mayelana ne-It's a Metaphor Itafula
Le projekthi ihlekisa ngokwayo ngenkathi iphakamisa ukuqwashiswa komphakathi ngokulingana kobulili. Ngokuqondile, isebenzisa isingathekiso esivela ku-sumo, omunye wemidlalo ebuswa amadoda kakhulu emphakathini waseJapan. Abesifazane abavunyelwe ukuncintisana emsebenzini wale midlalo abanikezwe ezocansi, okubenza babeke imingcele ngaphandle kwendandatho ngenxa yokungahlanzeki kwabo ngenxa yegazi lokuya esikhathini. Ukugxoba iqhawe lomzabalazo phansi, lapho kusetshenzelwa imbiza yezimbali noma noma yiphi enye into edingeka abantu bangaba nayo, kufisa sengathi i-macho-dominion sumo isaphethe, ngokusebenzisa indelelo nokuhlekisa.
Ukuqashelwa
Mayelana ne-Umklomelo Webhulonzi we-A' Design Award
It's a Metaphor Itafula iwinile uMklomelo Webhulonzi we-A' Design Award, ukwaziswa okuhloniphekile kakhulu okunikezwa imiklamo ephawulekayo eyehlukaniswa ukudala, ubuhlakani nobukhali bengqondo. Abawinile beBhulonzi yimisebenzi enobuchule obukhulu nedala ngokumangalisayo eqinisekisa isipiliyoni esibanzi, umcabango nobuhlakani babaklami babo. It's a Metaphor Itafula ilindeleke ukuba ibe yinto exatshwa kakhulu, edunyiswayo nethandwayo, enobungcweti obuphawulekayo nezinto ezintsha. Lo mklamo owinile uMklomelo Webhulonzi we-A' Design Award uhlanganisa izindlela ezinhle kakhulu ebuciko, esayensi, ekuklameni nasebuchwepheshe futhi uhamba phambili ngenxa yokunaka kwawo imininingwane. It's a Metaphor Itafula iyanelisa izidingo ngokumangalisayo, ithinta izifiso, iheha imizwa futhi ikhanga ukufuna ukwazi.

- Izici Ezihlukile
- This is a furniture product able to speak and provoke, challenging with irony and a clumsy smile unethical behaviors of our times.
- Izilinganiso Nokupakisha
- Measures are in mm.
Glass platform ø: 1800 / Glass platform thickness: 10 / Body with: 850 / Body height: 750 / Body depth: 1000 - Amathegi
- table, social design, equality of the sexes, Japan, sumo
- Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza
- 3D-printed assembled object. It can be produced either way with Eco-friendly 3D-printed Poly Lactic Acid filaments or carbon fibers. The structure is divided in multiparts, hand refined and assembled. Successively the whole body is glazed by immersion and finished with a vitreous enamel coating.
A round tempered glass is based on the structure and secured using discreet clear glass high-grip bumpers, specifically designed for the purpose.
The structural analysis take into consideration the chosen materials and the multipart splitting process, where every cut and internal printed reinforcements are made to dump and sustain the weight the structure will go through. - Inselele Yokudweba
- The creative challenge of this project is to combine the practical function of a furniture piece and communication contents as a means of social commitment. Sumo wrestlers are so well regarded and revered in society to be almost considered as macho semi-gods in their country; placing one of them in a conscious submissive position -grateful and happy to help others- wishes to rebalance a more male-dominated thinking to a non-discriminatory one.
- Ucwaningo
- The main focus of this project -together with many pieces produced by our design studio- is to raise awareness about social rights and equal opportunity. Specifically, the target of our research was speaking about the equality of the sexes without being moralistic or patronising; in order to do this we chose to use irony and humour, two powerful rhetorical devices to convey a disputed concept without too much bloodshed.
- Ugqozi
- "The piece of wood came alive and it was able to speak". That's pretty much what happened to Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio; likewise, adding communication contents to a product, gives this object an identity and the ability to speak to people.
This project is poking fun at itself while aim to raise social awareness on equality of the sexes. Specifically, it uses a metaphor which springs from sumo, one of the most male dominated sport in the Japanese society. Women are not allowed to compete professionally in this sport given sexist rules, which by tradition border them outside the wrestling ring as a result of their "impurity" by reason of the menstrual blood.
Knocking a sumo warrior to the ground at the service of a flower pot -or any other need people may require from a table- ironically desecrates this macho dominance still present in some traditions. - Ubude Bephrojekthi
- The project has started in December 2019 in London and finished, as it is shown, in February 2020. Currently, the table has a unique prototype and will be ready to be produced and launched serially in May 2020.
- Ukuhamba Kokusebenza
- A table which can hosts up to 10 seaters. Ideal to be placed wherever an open minded spirit is at home.
