Ang Disenyo

Tungkol sa Balanco Sofa

Ang Balanco ay isang modular na sofa na idinisenyo para sa mga kontemporaryong interior. Ang pangalan nito ay tumutukoy sa cantilever, ang prinsipyong estruktural na ginamit upang mabawasan ang nadaramang bigat ng piyesa. Pinagsasama ng Balanco ang isang nakabiting upholstered na base, isang backrest na gawa sa solidong kahoy, at isang integrated na side table na natural na bato na nakapatong sa suportang metal. Pinaliit ang mga nakikitang punto ng suporta, kaya't ang malaking volume nito ay mukhang magaan. Ang solidong kahoy, tanso, bato, linen, katad at pelus ay lumilikha ng kontrast sa pagitan ng densidad ng materyal at biswal na gaan. Ang kabuuang haba nito ay 3500 mm.

Mga Natatanging Katangian: The structure was conceived to minimize visible support points, reducing the perception of weight in a large-scale piece. The contrast between dense materials and the resulting formal lightness establishes a distinctive structural language. The intentional misalignment reinforces its identity, while the cantilevered side table, supported by a metal base, enhances the sense of suspension and lightness.
Mga Sukat at Packaging: Modular system composed of a suspended upholstered base, structural solid wood backrest, and integrated natural stone side table with metal support.
Total length: 3500mm Depth: 920mm Seat height: 430mm Total height: 665mm Side table: Total length 700mm:Depth: 700mm

Teknolohiya sa Produksyon: The structure was designed with strategic load distribution and visually minimized support points, allowing the suspension effect while maintaining structural integrity. The upholstery uses multi-density foams and coverings in linen, leather, and velvet, applied using advanced upholstery techniques. The combination of structural engineering and construction precision transforms high-density materials into a visually light and continuous expression.
Hamon sa Disenyo: The challenge was to transform a large-scale piece into a visually lightweight volume, requiring structural refi nement, iterative prototyping, and precise control of proportions and materials. The result demonstrates how engineering and design work together to redefi ne structural perception in contemporary furniture.
Pananaliksik: Applied research in furniture design focused on the relationship between structure, materiality, and visual perception. The objective was to investigate how structural cantilever and material combinations could reduce the perceived weight of upholstered pieces. The methodology included formal analysis, material experimentation, 3D modeling, and prototyping. The results show that balancing structure and materials redefi nes visual perception, contributing to new approaches in contemporary design.
Inspirasyon: Architectural and structural references guided the development of a solution that explores visual suspension as a design language. Throughout the process, the investigation of the interaction between solid wood, brass, stone, linen, leather, and velvet guided the search for material balance, where the contrast between physical density and visual lightness defi nes the expression and identity of the piece.
Tagal ng Proyekto: The project was developed over two months at the brand’s studio in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The process involved conceptual investigation, structural development, and material experimentation, focusing on the integration of visual lightness, stability, and balance between different materials, resulting in a solution that combines technical rigor and contemporary expression.
Daloy ng Operasyon: The sofa integrates the seat and side table into a continuous composition, where the cantilevered element expands its functionality without compromising visual lightness. The structure was conceived to reduce the perception of weight, creating a sense of suspension. Unlike conventional solutions, the solid wood backrest is treated as an essential part of the design, allowing the piece to be freely positioned and appreciated from all angles within the space.
