2nd Semester | National Institute of Design
Time Duration: 2 weeks
Brief: Back to Future; Back to Basics. Aim of the project was to design a product for the future taking inspiration from the past.
The era I chose to work with is the Islamic Era.After studying and creating a mood board for the Islamic Age I was inspired by the use of Geometry in all their designs. Taking inspiration from their geometry I designed a Modular Center Table for the modern age.
The common element in the Islamic era is their geometric pattern. Individual geometric shapes are not simply used for their aesthetic beauty; they are rather symbols which represent certain aspects of the Islamic faith. Triangles are applied as symbols of human consciousness and hexagons are representative of heaven. In Islamic iconography, the star in its various forms also represents unity. Ultimately, the seamless combination of these individual shapes and patterns within large geometric patterns reaffirms the perfect harmonization of all of God’s divine creations. This inspired me to design a Modular Coffee Table for the modern age. The circular rings rotate 360 degrees individually from its axis.
