Alexey Samygin ("AS") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Compass Desk. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
AS : I think that compass is one of the main tools in our profession.
AS : I wanted my table to be unusual, functional, quite neat and, of course, beautiful.
AS : With the help of this award, I would like to find like-minded customers, people who can not only pay, but also appreciate the uniqueness and originality of the objects i create.
AS : It took me around 2 weeks to create the idea and pass the drawings to the production.
AS : The task was to create a working desk comfortable for two people to seat at. But anyway there is always space for the inspiration.
AS : I made a few copies for my old friends, who are also my customers. But i don't reject the possibility of selling or leasing the rights to manufacture the table.
AS : It is entirely the result of my imagination.
AS : Designers, architects, people of creative professions, or anyone who wants to own an unusual, special object.
AS : I think that it’s the design principle and the construction itself.
AS : I think, it’s quite obvious.
AS : Just the pen and the paper.
AS : First of all it’s the table for two and secondly it’s originality.
AS : My knowledge in the design and manufacture of furniture was enough to create this project independently.
AS : This project was made awhile ago and obtained an international patent, to make sure that the item is unique. I haven’t made any other research.
AS : It was necessary to produce a true to size mockup to make sure that the drawing board, which is the part of the tabletop, works perfectly.
AS : It was my eldest son’s advice, he’s also my business partner.
AS : Despite the long time experience in this area, I continue to learn every day, because every project I make is unique. And while creating this very item, I’m sure I’ve learned something too)
