Ibyerekeye Forma Igikoni: Intebe

Forma ni intebe yakozwe mu ruhu rwatunganyijwe mu buryo bwa gakondo (vegetable tanned leather), MDF na siteeli. Imiterere yayo yasubiwemo ishushanya y'isogisi y'ifarashi. Uruhu rutunganywa hakoreshejwe uburyo bwo gushyira mu mazi no kubumba (wet molding), buri mu buryo bwa kera cyane bwo gukora imirimo y'uruhu, buhesha ibicuruzwa imiterere ikomeye kandi irambye. Uburyo bwo gushyira mu mazi no kubumba butuma habaho guhindukirana koroshye hagati y'ibice bikoze neza n'ibice bikomeye, bityo intebe igatanga uburyohe ndetse n'inkunga. Forma ipima 560 mm mu bugari, 605 mm mu bujyakuzimu na 670 mm mu burebure. Iyi shusho ihuza ubuhanga gakondo bwo gukora ibikoresho by'uruhu (saddlery) n'ibikoresho by'ubwiherero bwa none.

Ishimwe

Ibyerekeye Igihembo cya A' Design Award cy'icyuma

Forma Igikoni: Intebe ni uwegukanye Igihembo cya A' Design Award cy'icyuma, ishimwe ry'agaciro ritangwa ku bishushanyo byiza bihuza ibyo umwuga n'inganda bikeneye ku bihangano byashushanyijwe neza. Abegukanye icyuma bagaragaza ubuhanga bukomeye, ubumenyi bwihariye, imyumvire y'inzobere n'ubushobozi bwo guhanga bw'ababikoze. Forma Igikoni: Intebe biteganyijwe ko izaba igihangano cyubahwa, gishimwa kandi gikundwa, gifatika kandi gifite udushya. Iki gishushanyo cyegukanye icyuma gihuza uburyo bwiza bukoreshwa mu nganda kandi gifite ibiranga bya tekiniki bifite ubushobozi, bifatanye n'ubumenyi n'impano. Forma Igikoni: Intebe yubahwa kubera gukora neza, kandi yashushanyijwe kugira ngo inoze ubuzima, ifashe gutuma isi iba nziza.

Amazina y'abagize uruhare, abagize itsinda n'amakuru y'ubuhanga byatanzwe n'umuhanzi.

Ibintu Bidasanzwe: Forma reinterprets the timeless silhouette of a horse’s saddle through the technique of wet molding to shape leather into intricate, structured forms. This method enhances durability and sculptural precision, allowing for seamless transitions between softness and rigidity. By pushing the boundaries of leather manipulation, Forma highlights materiality, refinement, and fluidity, redefining traditional craftsmanship in modern fabrication while achieving both structural integrity and sculptural rhythm.
Ibipimo n'Ipaki: Materials: Vegetable Tanned Leather / MDF / Steel
Dimensions: Width 560 mm x Depth 605 mm x Height 670mm
Ibibazo Fatizo: Leatherworking, Wet Molding, Material Exploration, Chair, Experimental Furniture Design
Ikoranabuhanga ryo Guteza Imbere: Since early civilization, leather has been valued for its versatility, offering both comfort and protection. Wet molding, one of the oldest leatherworking techniques, remains a vital method for shaping leather into structured, durable forms. Forma employs this technique to fuse soft and rigid elements with fluidity, achieving structural refinement. By leveraging this process, the design not only preserves traditional craftsmanship but also explores new possibilities in material adaptation and contemporary fabrication techniques.
Ikibazo cy'Ishusho: Wet molding is a centuries-old technique, yet its potential within contemporary design remains largely underexplored. This project challenges conventional applications by experimenting with new shaping methods, testing leather’s adaptability, and refining its structural possibilities. Through material-driven research, it seeks to expand the boundaries of craftsmanship, integrating traditional leatherworking techniques with adaptive design solutions.
Ubushakashatsi: This project investigates the potential of wet molding through hands-on experimentation, analyzing the material’s flexibility and structural limitations. By studying how leather responds to manipulation, the research informs the development of innovative forms and explores new possibilities in furniture applications. Pushing the boundaries of this traditional craft, the study bridges material experimentation with material-driven design, redefining leather’s role in modern fabrication.
Ibyatumye Habaho: Forma is rooted in a deep appreciation for the transformation of raw materials through time-honored craftsmanship. Inspired by the evolution of saddlery, the project reinterprets traditional processes for new creative applications by examining how wet molding—a technique integral to equestrian gear—can be adapted for contemporary design. The interplay of structure and fluidity found in saddlery serves as the foundation for a piece that honors heritage craftsmanship while embracing design refinement.
Igihe cy'Umushinga: The project started in January 2023 in Providence, Rhode Island, and was completed in May 2023.
Uburyo bw'Imikorere: Designed to offer both function and sculptural presence, Forma’s structured yet fluid form allows it to serve as a seat while also acting as a statement piece. The careful balance of soft and rigid elements provides both comfort and support, making it a versatile addition to various interior spaces.
