| DESIGN NAME: Onix PRIMARY FUNCTION: Armchair INSPIRATION: While admiring the solid elements of nature, was created the Stones Collection, in which this Onix armchair participates. A contemporary line of products that reflect the harmony of the faceted surfaces of a precious stone. The design is allied to an extensive study of the production of it, involving laser cutting, folding, soldering, sanding, painting, polishing, almost every manual. Turning the furniture into the very jewel of the environment! UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The elegance of the Onix armchair is expressed by the lines with contemporary design, the upholstered seat dressed in with modern felt and the thin carbon steel structure and feet. Alone or in pairs, the model is perfect for giving an extra touch of sophistication to the spaces. Besides of breaking the sobriety of any ambience, it comes to add charm and personalize. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Besides the light, beautiful and modern look, the chair has high durability because it is made of carbon steel. In addition, there are several different and unique color options, such as copper, champagne and gold, which are being widely used in design currently. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in March 2014 in São Paulo and finished in August 2018 in São Paulo, and was exhibited in High Design Mobile and Design Exposition at São Paulo in August 2018. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This product was made like a "origami". On scale 1/5 : cutting, folding, gluing paper again and again until reaching the perfect ergonomic plus beauty. 3D model made on computer too, was time do the 1:1 origami test, always on hard paper. After days designing, time to produce one sample on carbon steel 1:1 size. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: In this collection, the chairs and armchairs present two options: NAKED option, in which the whole metallic structure becomes apparent, valuing the handcrafted work of folds and creases of the pieces. And de FULL option, where the chair is entirely upholstered, allowing a more cozy finish. Product dimensions: 900 x 620 x 900 TAGS: geometric chair, contemporary furniture, modern design, stones, high design, metal furniture, metal design, copper, gold, modern, contemporary, geometry RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The creation part was the most easy coming, came from the big passion to create and the dream of becoming a differentiated designer in the market. With the product designed, it was time to make the prototype, that's when the real challenge began! Because it is such a different product, it is necessary for high technology and good quality of workmanship, which here is very difficult to find, especially for artists who are starting. Several tests were done and in several different materials; wood, plastic, aluminum .. After years and almost giving up the dream, we arrived at the product we have today: thin carbon steel plate, laser cut, sanded, folded by specific machines, welded with precision, sanded again, polished, painted ... Dream came true and a whole line of furniture has been created. Hope you can appreciate, and see the passion for design and art in these products! CHALLENGE: The real question after doing this furniture was :" In what material will it be possible to do this?" Thinking of weight, ergonomics, cost, comfort .. and after several tests, the chosen one was the carbon steel! Still not easy!!! Now the hard part was QUALITY, because metal is not a easy material to work, specially the soldering. several months working until get the perfect quality!
