This design is inspired by an Iranian knot that has been widely used in brickwork decorations and wooden doors. Since the geometry present in these knots is gradually being forgotten, the goal was to keep Iranian art alive in a different form by incorporating this knot design into a chair. In the geometry of this knot, the drum bead is used both in a reclining and straight position. Considering that the chair design, like the knot, should have the potential to expand, half of the reclining bead and half of the straight bead have been used. Additionally, taking into account the importance of filled and empty spaces in Iranian architecture, the half reclining bead represents the filled space (seating area), while the half straight bead represents the empty space (footrest). The lines that form the design are used as the chair’s legs.

In fact, considering the importance of visual language in design, the inclusion of these beads in the geometry of the chair creates a sense of calm for the user, which, in addition to the modern look, is rooted in the identity of Iranian architecture, preventing blind imitation of other styles.

To achieve the desired chair form with the ability to replicate, just like the knot itself, we halved the reclining bead and considered the lines on both sides of it as the chair’s legs. We then adjusted the first leg to the standard chair height, extended the second leg, folded it, and created the armrest. The backrest was positioned at the same height as the seat backrest.

This design process involves transforming two-dimensional art into three-dimensional art.

It also aims to revive past architectural decorations and modernize traditional Iranian art.

The chair’s design pays attention to human dimensions, with adjustments to height and proportions based on the standard dimensions of the human body while sitting. A 5-degree angle is considered between the seat base and the horizontal line, as well as a 110-degree angle between the seat base and the backrest for comfort.

Proper proportions and connections are maintained, and soft edges are created for easy use.

The materials used are cost-effective, available, recyclable, and lightweight (using chipboard instead of MDF sheets for parts where aesthetics are not compromised)
