Furniture Design (3)

1. Faculty of Arts and Design Furniture Design (3) ( IDF 4102 ) Fourth Lecture Week six

2. Furniture Design (3) Course Lecturer : Prof. Hana Yassen Course assistant : Eng. MahaElwany Location ( F 513 ) Lecture (8:30-9:20) Tutorial ( 9:30-1:20 ) Office hours: Thursday ( 8:30 – 12:30 ) E-mail : Prof_Hanayassen@yahoo.com

3. Course Objectives: • - Developing your creative ability on a course with a design culture that considers all aspects of furniture and related product design, and a philosophy that thrives on new ideas, new ways of doing things and the exploration of creative possibilities. We celebrate diversity and encourage our students to develop - their own personal identities. • - Learning to think about furniture in its broadest terms, developing your creativity by exploring space, form and structure. • - Designing different furniture units to suit any interior space according to the needed function (counter – storing shelves – chairs – decorative partitions, etc ……) within architectural artistic aspects, considering working details and used material, and according to human scale standard measurements (Anthropometric) and duty function (Ergonomics). • - Studying includes • research skills • idea generation • concept development • ergonomics • model making • production and communication.

4. Course Description: • - Training students on drawing different elevations (plan – vertical elevation – side elevation) for interior spaces ( residential, commercial and office) furniture units using suitable drawing scales. • - Drawing different illustrating sections showing the working details used in each unit. • - Drawing different isometric perspectives showing the wooden joints used in each unit. • - Studying the different line textures used in illustrating different wooden parts and joints through plans, elevations, sections and perspectives. • - Designing a decorative furniture unit using the suitable joints and geometrical drawing details.

7. Research for working details (needed joints and connections for different kinds of materials and partitions) - The fundamental structure and technical details are the basis for all designs. - offering all the tools necessary to enhance and maximize the aesthetic visions for each design.Optimal designs, elegant details & simplicity in technical methods. Here are some connector samples for modern partitions

8. Connector Example one: Flow composite panel

10. Connector - CONNECTOR is a ceiling mounted partition system with a unique linking element incorporated into each of the panel designs. - Each panel seamlessly integrate into the next panel to create a continuous extension without the need for additional hardware. - These patterns are developed organically from its connection points and continually morph to create its final shape.- CONNECTOR is available in a variety of design options. - Our standard material for this system is made from a double sided, brushed laminate with a walnut stain color.

11. Example Two: Domino cellular, aluminum composite panels

14. Domino - DOMINO is a simple and elegant ceiling mounted paneling solution designed to fit in any space and situation by employing a simple and flexible concept. - This system combines hardware and panel designs into a package providing easy assembly and seamless integration into any environment. - The impeccable aluminum surface is finished on two sides with a hard plastic core for rigidity and strength. - Its modern and sophisticated designs can enhance any décor and help define a space. - DOMINO is available in a variety of panel sizes that can extend using the proprietary aluminum hardware included in this package

15. Example Three: cell extruded plastic panels Constructor

16. Web extruded plastic panels

17. Wave extruded plastic panels

18. Forest extruded plastic panels

19. Constructor - CONSTRUCTOR is a freestanding and fully self-supporting partition system designed to create walls for dividing and defining areas for privacy without blocking views or light. - Manufactured from rigid lightweight plastic sheets, this system is developed to allow limitless configurations without restrictions. - CONSTRUCTOR is available in wide color options and designs to compliment any interior. - The patterns vary in style, from simple and elegant to intricate 3D effects, these partitions are visually striking and can easily integrate into any designed or envisioned environment. - The hardware for this system is developed for endless configurations and expansions.

20. Example Four: Folding screens

21. Folding screen • - FOLDING SCREENS is a new take on the traditional folding screen with modern twist combining new designs with new materials. • Manufactured from wide range of materials, this system is developed to allow easy integration into your space. We have a few different systems to choose from. • The double layers create three dimensional effects and dramatic shadows. • - The hardware for this system is developed for endless configurations and expansions. - Some of the modular systems allows user to add panels to create wider lengths.
