noiz architects: morphing furniture


up close of the base's changing forms

japan and taiwan-based noiz architecture, design and planning were recently commissioned
to design a cultural salon for taiwan land corporation to enhance the corporate identity of the company.
the design theme of the project was 'transformation'.

along with designing the new interior the firm developed furniture for the salon,
which followed with this notion of transforming. their morphing table and chairs are derived
from iconic pieces of modern designed furniture. the forms morph from one typology of
a chair or table into another in one continuous form.

how often are people going to repeat this concept?
michael   02.05.10
the source chairs are all beautiful.
the technology of laser cut ply is full of potential.
the idea is utterly lame.
the result, a waste of wood.
nicey   02.05.10
thanks noiz, but you really needn't have bothered
no, really...

the sculptural quality is superb
ipo   02.05.10
That's a great idea to use the different iconic shapes and to make snakes out of them.
udo   02.05.10
The frustrated designers who often critique here but never submit their work are really annoying. Designboom - please establish some kind of comment criteria.

the process brings out the natural beauty of plywood

You can draw this in 15 minutes in a 3d modeling software.
We should try to be as suberb as the software in order to make great objects. Of course it's not the case.
Rod   02.05.10
Err, Gehry, I mean Ribb - how do you know who these 'frustrated designers' are?
'n tickle   02.05.10
whether simple or not, this is really awesome. People just get pissed because some great things are simple and made fast and they can only make greatness in the span of years.
heck   02.05.10
beautiful work!!!! I love it.
mpacheco   02.05.10
I love the blue and orange.. quite constructive..
me   02.06.10
Really wish he hadn't used the iconic forms. The idea's been done, but still holds potential. This is pretty lame though.
KG   02.06.10
i love the brick wall

g   02.06.10
