We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Thelos Design Team about their original and creative Lounge chair design work. Thelos Design Team is an award-winning industrial designer, that makes our world a better place with their original lounge chair works.
Thelos Design Team ("TDT") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Riza Air Lounge chair. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
TDT : The main idea to create this design is born an especial design chair that it connotes the essence on modernism aesthetics of Barcelona mixed with a contemporary design touch.
TDT : The main focus is show the organic look of wood working hand like as the modernist architect Antoni Gaudí had worked their architecture elements, ever inspired in nature topics that he always reinterpreted it on buildings. In this case applied in a furniture, applied it in a special chair.
TDT : First, we want to celebrate this prize together with Thelos design Team. Then we'll work hard to divulge this design, with added value thanks to this prize, to the worldwide interior design public. And we leverage to learn from every particular feedback for our knowlege and try to continue this look line work in the next projects.
TDT : We worked 3 months for the first concept and then 1 year to work hard for the first prototypes.
TDT : We think that the modernism movement always inspired in nature was finalized soon and his artistic potential needs to resurge and take a place in a contemporary art and design today.
TDT : Riza chair and the next family products that we'll design are and will be edited and produced for Thelos.
TDT : The particular type of work of Riza is its special lines of wood, likeness to tree roots and the same time to the modern metallic chair lines, want to give a message about that we can make products with natural raw materials and without fossil or chemical origins. The Riza chair is only realised with sustainable solid wood and natural varnishes.
TDT : We were inspired with all work of Catalan modernist architect Antoni Gaudí on his buildings and a his little furniture collection.
TDT : Riza is a contemporary design chair suitable for lounge areas of clubs, private residences and hotels.
TDT : Riza means a roots of the trees and we choose this name to reference to the natural movement of the roots in all directions and the chair structure asked going on any directions to finish the aesthetical and stabilization functions.
TDT : Riza is made with a organic look structure complemented with a special grid on the back and with only using solid wood.
