About Era 無靠背椅

Era係一張無靠背椅,設計成一個雕塑感嘅室內座椅元素。底座由金屬桿組成,固定喺上下兩個支柱之間,每個支柱由一個金屬環固定,環上按計算好嘅角度開孔。金屬桿圍繞中軸線旋轉,線條之間嘅光線反射營造出一種動態感。所有固定元件都隱藏起嚟,令整體結構呈現出簡潔清晰嘅形態。座面以泡棉同皮革包覆,內裡設有夾板襯板,防止泡棉變形。Era尺寸為高500毫米、闊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.
