PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The oval shape of Venus structure is made of wood, cut down with a CNC machine and filled with Upholstery Foam (60mm thickness), and then covered with fabric. the fence was prototyped in the Polywood structure and was connected to the body with two circular patches. we used stethoscope technology for the pillow to hear the fetus heartbeat. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The oval shape of the furniture has the following dimension: 800mm(width) 1200mm(depth) 1000mm (height) TAGS: interaction, relax mother, cradle, pregnancy, ancient of Iran , statues RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The mother is the oldest subject of human art," says Toynbee. In ancient Iran, over the Neolithic period, there are some play statues with this subject. In some of these statues, their female organs are emphasized such as breasts and legs. The excessive fatness of these statues reflects the difference that has been achieved in the aesthetic view of us and our prehistoric ancestors, and the belief in the beauty of fat women has remained strong in the minds of many people in the world until a few decades ago. Fatness was a symbol of health, wealth, and satiety for our ancestors. CHALLENGE: the main challenge was the connection between ancient inspiration and modern society. finding a design language the faces our real needs. we could highlight some of the fertility touch points and find solutions based on inspiration resources. as an example mother's concerns for the health of the fetus and the desire to hear the baby's heartbeat were founded in the function of the old mother statues that were used as some magical power to calm down and have an easy birth.
