Meduse Pipes

Organic lines inspired by underwater sea life. A shisha pipe like a mysterious animal getting alive with every inhalation. My idea of design was to uncover all interesting processes that take place in the pipe such as bubbling, smoke flow, fruit mosaic and the play of lights and thus provide demanding smoker additional value into very traditional concept of smoking a water pipe. Shishas are designed to be prepared with real fruit pieces - cocktail in glass corpus - which has never been done before. This enhance the experience not only visually, but it also strongly affects the final taste.

Folded Tones

Rugs are inherently flat, the goal was to challenge this simple fact. The illusion of three-dimensionality was achieved with just three colours. The variety of tones and depth of the rug is dependent on the width and density of the stripes, rather than a large palette of colours that may jar with a particular space, thus allowing for flexible use. From above or far away, the rug resembles a folded sheet. However, while sitting or lying on it, the illusion of the folds may not be perceptible. This lead to the use of simple repetitive lines that can be enjoyed as an abstract pattern up close.

una

Seamless integration is the essence of the Una table. Three maple forms come together to cradle a tempered glass surface. the product of intense consideration of materials and their capabilities, sturdy yet airy in appearance and incredibly lightweight, Una emerges as the embodiment of balance and grace.

Duna

Designed after the organic profile of dunes surrounding Natal, the armchair is made of certified wood, finished with freijó, a typically Brazilian wood which also casts colour variances of regional sands. Aside from being light, this sculptural piece allies technology and art.

Flux

Mehran Gharleghi and Amin Sadeghy from Studio INTEGRATE have created “Flux Table” within their exploration of fusing historically rooted geometries with contemporary modes of computation. Its intricate form and pattern is derived from a basic "Toranj", a mathematical pattern used in Iranian architecture; from which a smooth transition between two layers of a strict geometric pattern is constructed. The geometrical pattern at the top surface fuses to the bottom layer through a series of multi-directional arches. The generated form is manufactured using digital fabrication.
