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.

BARBECUE

Anti-Loneliness

Anti-loneliness Ramen bowl addresses the social phenomena of addiction to the use of high-tech handheld devices such as smart phone. The uniquely sculptured form is the result of double layered ceramic for creating the concaved cavity for holding phone device. As the current society relying on the digital media, people try to connect online even during their mealtime for looking through the social medium with their smart phones. Anti-loneliness Ramen bowl is the hybrid-design of phone dock with noodle bowl for solving those issues.

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.

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.

Trifold

The Trifold's shape is informed by a combination of triangular surfaces and a unique folding sequence. It has a minimalist yet complex and sculptural design, from every view angle it reveals a unique composition. The design can be scaled to suit various purposes without compromising its structural integrity. The Trifold is a showcase of digital fabrication methods and the use of new manufacturing technologies such as robotics. The production process has been developed in collaboration with a robotic fabrication company specialising in folding metals with 6-axis robots.
