The values inherent in each architectural style impact significant works in a more distinctive way and ordinary works in a more conventional manner. The geometry found in brickwork decorations is part of the values present in Iranian architecture. In these decorations, beads are placed next to each other to form knots. The idea behind this chair design is inspired by the Givah bead, one of the most commonly used beads in Iranian buildings. Since these beads, in places like the corners, have made efforts to become three-dimensional, we aimed to add dimension and functionality to the bead, creating a chair that, in addition to its aesthetic appeal, has Iranian identity and provides a sense of comfort. From another perspective, it combines both traditional and modern ideas, drawing inspiration from the past while adapting to today’s lifestyle.
In this context, we folded the bead and, with some modifications to the bead’s line, which serves as the boundary between filled and empty spaces, we rotated it to create a backrest, resulting in a form that is both filled and empty.
Key Features:
Transformation of two-dimensional art into three-dimensional art.
Reviving past architectural decorations and using traditional Iranian art in a modern form.
Attention to the human dimensions of the chair, adjusting the height and proportions based on human body standards while sitting.
Adherence to proper proportions, connections, and the creation of soft edges for comfortable use.
Use of cost-effective, accessible, recyclable, and affordable materials, as well as soft and lightweight materials.
