Marcel Wanders Crochet Chair for Moooi
Floral and crochet (a process of creating fabric from yarn using a crochet hook. The word is derived from the French word "crochet", meaning hook. Crocheting, similar toknitting, consists of pulling loops of yarn through other loops. Crochet differs from knitting in that only one loop is active at one time (the sole exception being Tunisian crochet), and that a single crochet hook is used instead of two knitting needles.)

VERNER PANTON’S “OPTIK”
Legendary Verner Panton is one of Denmark’s most celebrated furniture and textile designers from the 1950′s and 1960′s. He preferred metal and plastics over wood, which embodied his belief that designers should employ the most advanced technology available. Decades after its introduction in 1968, his all plastic cantilevered chair, The Panton Chair along with other epoch making pieces, continue to influence modern furniture design
Ornament as a challenge to reality Michal Piasecki & Malgorzata Mozolewska: Could be defined as structural ornament as well because it embeds algorithmic aesthetics into structural logic “Structural ornament arises on the verge of order and chaos, mathematic calculation and chance, but once achieved, it may serve to shape any object you like. It is generated by a purpose-made software that takes into account the shape of a desired object, loads and pressures therein and adds a component of chance so that the structure obtained, while functional, is different each and every time and not entirely foreseeable. Preparation of the software was preceded by painstaking analysis of the history and transformation of ornament over time, helping to precisely channel my search and to find my own way of creating the structural ornament which is firmly rooted in history, inspired by processes seen in nature, but created using modern technologies.” MaĆgorzata Mozolewska Unitary PatternShah Jahan Masjid , Sindh.The Shah Jahan Mosque was built in the reign of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. It is located in Thatta, Sindh province, Pakistan. It has been on the tentative UNESCO World Heritage list since 1993.[1] In the town of Thatta (100 km / 60 miles from Karachi) itself, there is famous Shahjahani Mosque with its beautiful architecture. This mosque was built in 1647 during the reign of Mughal King Shah Jahan, also known as the builder King. The mosque is built with red bricks with blue coloured glaze tiles probably imported from another Sindh's town of Hala. The mosque has overall 100 domes and it is world's largest mosque having such number of domes. It has been built keeping acoustics in mind. A person speaking inside one end of the dome can be heard at the other end. Shah Jahan's"shamsah" design, perhaps the most famous piece of calligraphic ornament in the world, The Mughals were in love with marble as a construction material. Taj Mahal is the evidence; with beautiful inlay and lattice work. The artisans realise that to appreciate that we cannot visit the places, so they replicate similar designs on portable marble plates for the connoisseurs.. This pattern in circular design is a reminder of the Shamsa, a term derived from the Arabic shams (sun). Due to the deep purple colour in the middle of the nucleus, there is depth in the art work. It seems to have bursted, creating the outward patterns on the way. Where the pattern is concerned, the artist uses curves and continuous pattern in each circle, all the way. Its with colours that he has shown skillful mastery. In some patterns he has used golden colour as the filler with touches of coloured paint on the edges and at some places, he has used golden as an outline only. The technique of shading is applied here, which is quite rare on marble paintings. The red, green and purple creates magic with golden playing a major role. It lends it the required richness for a decorative art, tracing its descent from the Augustan age of the Mughal empire.. |
