Sculptural Seating Unit Inspired by the Art of Origami: “Forum”

“Origami Forum is a utilitarian space installation, intended to be used both outdoors and indoors. It is a multifunctional street furniture for sitting, lying, friendship, which can accommodate multiple users simultaneously, alone or in groups. In this sense, the object / sculptural installation is a very flexible unit that functionally meets the needs of different user groups.

 

It also has visual quality, which enriches the urban – public space (open or closed) and is a benchmark of gathering or meeting place.  By multiplication of a modular element, we got the origami-like structure, the Japanese art of paper folding. The advantages of such origami structures is that they feature relatively small elements which facilitates transportation and reduces the cost of production, and their multiplication can result in a very dynamic composition.” Would you like to see this design displayed in public spaces?

Preview

Preview is up. Mock up is up. Still very unsure about the colour scheme and i was contemplating between Colourful scheme inspired by Maya Hayuk which have straight coloured lines. Its mind boggling but I was still in the comfort zone of plain old black, greys, white and a splash of red.

I don't know whether I should add another Pyramid behind the Origamical chair. But I'll leave it as it is for now. Let's try and give it a shot.

So, this is how its going to work.

1. Its an interior design room work with functionality of the origami-cal furnitures such as Chair & table
2. The room is not only on the furniture but it adds another dimension of installation as the Origami art is spread to the walls.
3. There'll be blinking lighting's under some of the origami structures.
4. When It blinks there'll be a text shown. So once the light is off, the other pyramid will blink and the other text will show.

The Beginning to Everything.

The Big Question

Simple question: What is my forte.

Answer: Interior Design + Architecture + Geometrical Structures

Interdisciplinary Plan: Interior Design Functionality + Origami Art Installation + Lightings With Text

Visuals : A daily feed of visuals that leads me the form and structure of geometrical triangles, which is the start to everything. I'm looking at more of 3-Dimensional installation art at first, till I made a point Interior design functionality is the product of it.

So what am I looking at? My vision of the whole artwork? Dealing with geometrical triangles, which I was still exploring the material of it to achieve the opacity of the structure due to the lighting's that I'm going to put it under. It will end up having a soft blinking glow. Where the text is going to show each and every 3-4seconds? What you reckon?

Interior design X Functionality X Lighting Effects

Origami chaise lounge by Jo Han-Yong

The chair was presented at a student show in Seoul and though the design is very alluring and delicate, I’m sure nobody on the weightwatchers program will be too keen to put this in their living room anytime soon.

Origami venue at new JAL hotel

Planners looking for something beyond the standard meeting offering will soon be able to book an origami-shaped conference room at Hotel JAL Tower Dubai, which is due to open before the end of the year. Located on the ground floor, the structure makes a bold visual and corporate statement and ties in with the property’s strong Japanese theme.

The geometrical sharp edges are simply stunning with the immense size and scale, makes one walk around the sculpture and be around it. 

Recyclable LZF Alhambra Lamp Inspired by Origami by Sarah Parsons and Yuri Teodorowych

The latest lighting design from LZF Lampspaper swans to shame. The Spanish design firm used origami figures to inspire its giant, geometric pendant lamps, which debuted at this week’s Milan Furniture Fair. Not only are the lights arrestingly beautiful, they’re crafted from eco-friendly materials. Consumers can recycle the spiky, polypropylene domes once they are finished using them.

BLOXES! Modular Cardboard Building System by Emily Pilloton

One part origami, one part architecture, pure genius, the brand new Bloxes system makes 2-dimensional pieces of interlocking cardboard come to life as expandable and continually adaptable structures. Because they’re so masterfully designed, Bloxes create structures strong enough to stand on, all assembled without tools. So they’re not just for room separating anymore- build a bench, a table, a wall, or even a full room!

Origami -fied chairs?

Sandy Smith.

Scottish artist Sandy Smith has gotten loads of well-deserved press and internet buzz around his brilliant Computer Installations project, but his site showcases a ton of interesting tech and socially-tinged installation work, as well as some awesome insight into each piece from the artist himself.

For Computer Installations, including the obsolescent beauty of “Mauritian Sunset”, pictured below, he took old computer monitors, donated by his alma mater, the Glasgow School of Art, and turned them into gorgeous large-scale installation pieces.

Eye-grabbing from the front and equally intriguing from the back. I love the “technology behind the curtain” vibe; the allusion toward so many beautiful things whose veneer faces us while the nuts and bolts of how their allure is maintained is hidden. The door also intrigues me. You don’t have to travel around the outside of the entire piece to see both the gilded and the mechanical side; there’s a passageway right there in the middle, a portal, and Smith invites us to openly transverse between the two. This way we see the honest connection between the colourful light and all those dull, grey wires that are working so hard to create it. They might not be as pretty or as celebrated, but they’re responsible for all the shiny glory shimmering on the other side.
