You don’t just sit on an STACE collection, you retreat into it. It’s shapes, sizes, are deep and remarkably relaxing.
Developing this concept, artist and designers have highlighted Piet Mondrain , Le Corbusier, Gerrit Rietvield and Bauhaus. This made me feel more comfortable with my idea because what they did was create idea, their thinking into pieces using colour, shapes to create pieces of design that captured minds and developed design as piece of art.
My design was aimed to create something that has a primary use but has been adapted or has developed a secondary use. Looking at social behaviours and human activities, more so moments that have developed a new way of adapting objects. I wanted to create a design that can evoke memories. I know that in school, the staircase was the meeting place, an area where you stay on the left, at times chaotic, also fallen down a few times, a place to sit down and socialise. People use it as place to sit down and at times you subconsciously look for steps to sit down on. There is a lot references about to stairs “ staircase to heaven” “step by step” “naughty step” “bojangles stair dance," graduation and Relativity (M. C. Escher). At the same we cannot forget how it has helped people. Staircase has allowed us to reach higher heights and have been developed to making things more convenient.
Step represent human creative skills and imagination. It is a sculpture that we are emotionally attached despite not thinking about it in such depth, but it has appealed , in music, painting, dance, visual arts and photography.
I designed STACE, as a niche, designed for lounging and sleeping. In addition, STACE had such a simple design that it would survive any changes in styles and trends: it is to be the perfect expression of a holistic system.
STACE collection is both a social space and a security zone. It’s an environment of its own: a room inside a room, inside a home. As ‘a space within a space’ it offers its own world of colour, comfort and tranquillity.
Endless opportunities to add and rearrange elements. Functionalism that embodies comfort, geometry and abstract feel. Bright colours and wood meet to create a piece of contentment in an open space, which highlights the importance of effective design.
STACE IS WHAT FURNITURE IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
