shahrokh
The first generation was a ground chair to represent the Iranian traditional customs -seating on the ground-. It was inspired by a footage from the Persian traditional vocalist “Master Mohammadreza Shajarian” showing him seating on the ground in a family gathering. In the new generation, we tried to preserve the general aesthetics in one hand and achieve a more functional chair for contemporary use on the other hand. Therefore, the dimensions were edited to reach a standard chair.
The circular hollow steel section remained as the main structural component but the force bearing system has been changed. The chair structure is made out of three thick parts that are connected with thin joints. This arrangement gives the chair the look of suspension. The mass production ability was a fundamental goal of the client and the designers. This design had to be prepared in a systematic method with optimal use of material. It also had to meet economic and marketing needs and attain a simple process of industrial production.
Now “Shahrokh” needs a week to be prepared. It has been used in several projects and achieved the targets of the design strategy. This chair debuted in the 9th Exhibition of Office Furniture and Equipment -Office Expo 2020- and is commended by “Iran Furniture Manufacturers and Exporters Union”.
