DESIGN NAME: Lona
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Seating Unit
INSPIRATION: The primary inspiration for the project was the sakura tree. A concept blossomed from pink spring branches abstracted throughout the entire space. The focal point became a planter for the sakura tree, simultaneously transforming into a seating unit. The design comes to life with an artificial sakura tree crafted from real branches.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This design represents a unique concept, offering users a seating unit alongside a planter, distinguishing it from conventional planters. Blending functionality with aesthetics, it provides a striking solution for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This creative exploration initially drew inspiration from Japanese culture, particularly delving into the profound symbolism of the sakura tree. This design transforms the space into a lively and energetic environment, akin to an abstracted carpet of flowers, going beyond a mere bar to offer an immersive and captivating experience.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project finished in 2022 in Izmir, Turkey.
