| DESIGN NAME: Astrolabe PRIMARY FUNCTION: Rug INSPIRATION: The Astrolabe is a machine woven rug inspired by the Astrolabe, an ancient astronomical instrument that was a handheld model of the universe. Its various functions also make it an elaborate inclinometer and an analog calculation device capable of working out several kinds of problems in astronomy. This project is designed to encourage the sense of thinking and reasoning and not simply disregard the events and the world around. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The rug can live-in residents and many different environments due to its design, soft silhouettes, and color combination. It has been made with tassel material that preserves its genuine beauty forever. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The lines and writing on the pattern are designed not only for aesthetics but also to complete the concept. In addition, It creates an emotional connection between the users and the Milkyway by its design. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The Project has been designed and produced in Tehran in 2021. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: It has been made by a machine woven with tassel. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The diameter is 250 cm. TAGS: Rug, Carpet, Astrology, Astrolabe, Machine woven, Tassel RESEARCH ABSTRACT: I have always tried to design something unique and meaningful. Obviously, there are many ideas behind each design, which is not any different. I did not want to design something that attracts attention and makes people think about it besides functionality. Many sketches have been done to simplify the complicated forms besides protecting its modern style and making an emotional connection between the project and the users by design. CHALLENGE: The main challenge was to meet the market demand for modern rugs in various forms of protective symbols, transforming the astrological shapes into pieces with the same emotion, joining performance and aesthetics alongside emotional connection between the project and the users.
