A text she read in Leo Steinberg's book "Other Critiques", in which, in a section of the book written by Jasper Johns, it is speculated that passive objects are those that undergo an action, and active objects are those that propose an action.

With that in mind, I began to think about which object to use for deconstructing and reassembling.
After a day of reflection on the subject, I decided to talk to Leopoldo about it. It would help me with the methods part and the part related to Graphic Design.

In my conversation with him, I explained everything I had said to Ana and he told me that it would be easier if I created a method for my work.
We also think about which object to use, I decided to take a passive object, in which the function is only to propose an action and re-signify it to be an active object. I chose the Chair because besides being a passive object whose main function is just to sit, was an object that wanted to work from the beginning of the project.

" The Bauhaus was an institution, and a school of taught of arts and design which generate an idea of reform on arts and craft and architecture movement in Germany in the early of the 20th Century. As one of the early of the modern movement proponent, Bauhaus was confronted with a variaty of ‘ism’, from Expressionism, Cubism, Rationalism even with the Germany’s Neue Sachlichkeit, which coloured their concepts development of arts and craft and architecture. This research is intended to know the principles and The Bauhaus’s ideology, concepts and method in Architecture. This research is based its method on the rasionalistic approach with the content analysis technique, provide the principles of the master of forms of the Bauhaus likes Walter Gropius, Johannes Itten, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee dan also Lazlo Moholy Nagy, to form an a frame conceptions of the Bauhaus in architecture, which consist of method, concepts and an ideology. This frame conceptions would be used to analyse three samples of the Bauhaus products in achitecture (Sommerfeld House, Haus am Horn dan Bauhaus Dessau) for its empirically indications meanings. This research shows two result in general, that there are two parts of the Bauhaus concepts in architecture; the primary Bauhaus’s concepts on architecture, including zeitgeist and gesamkunstwerk which indicated on all of their product on architecture; the rasionalistic-industrial arts, social arts and metaphysic which was an secondary concepts that could indicate their era of products. The second result of this research is, The Bauhaus as a melting pot in to which many of the ‘ism’, artistic and architectual production merged. With the melting pot, Bauhaus succeded in superimposed all ‘ism’, artistic and architectual production, as a conception of design or the education, with which, state the universally principles that co-exist with the spirit of the age (zeitgeist). The Bauhaus ideology can be considered as a dynamic, become a melting pot from the alll ‘ism’ in the Bauhaus. This research also shows that the great contribution of the Bauhaus was its duality, or better still, 'trinity', that enabled crossfertilisation of technique and arts; positivism, rationalism and romanticism, that all contributed to a coherent, albeit dynamic expression radiating an utopia."

By repurposing high-end sneakers -- the kind that have sneakerheads foaming at their mouths -- into designer face masks, he's hoping to make a personal statement about the impact of pollution, as well as start a conversation among his peers.
"The masks make an impression, but they also show that you can use basic, everyday stuff to bring change into your life," he says. "If that helps to raise environmental consciousness, then I can consider myself fairly satisfied. Though there's much more to be done."

Cornelia Parker studied at Gloucester College of Art (1974 – 1975), Wolverhampton Polytechnic, BA Hons (1975 – 1978) and Reading University, MFA (1980 – 1982).

She is well known for her large scale, often site specific, installations. Her engagement with the fragility of existence and the transformation of matter is exemplified in two key works: Dark Matter, a cartoon-like reconstruction of an exploded army shed, and Heart of Darkness, the formal arrangement of charred remains from a forest fire. There is an apocalyptic tone to much of her work but she also demonstrates a concern with the more insidious effects of global warming and consumerism.

Parker works in a variety of mediums and has collaborated with institutions such as HM Customs & Excise, Royal Armouries, Madame Tussauds and Victoria & Albert Museum, London. She was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1997. She was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2010.

Alexander Calder and his mobiles are an example of a creative solution from 3D objects. The mobiles can mainly be made of any material and just have the creativity to assemble them. In its mobiles is used a lot of basic colours and simple geometric forms. Being a very complex object to be made, with mathematics, it is an irony to put such simple forms to "decorate" the mobile.
His work helped me see objects as parts, not as a "definitive" thing. Using deconstructed parts of, for example, chairs or a deconstructed clock can be made to create a new meaning for them.

Alexander Calder was born on July 22, 1898, in Lawton, Pennsylvania. Son of artist parents, where his father was also a sculptor and his mother a painter, living with this universe was encouraged from the very beginning to create. At the age of nine, he made his first sculptures, a small dog and a duck, to give his parents Christmas. They were made from pieces, cut and moulded, of sheets of brass. Since then it has been noted that she was easy to create.

Despite this ease, Calder did not imagine a sculptor. He graduated in engineering in 1919 by the Stevens Institute of Technology and had several jobs as a hydraulic engineer and automobile engineer, timekeeper in a logging field, and firefighter in the room of a boiler ship.

He awoke to the artistic life after observing the dawn of a ship to which he was working, with that happening Calder would have been enchanted with what he had seen and from that moment he decided that he would become an artist.

“Jean-Paul Sartre was born in 1905. His father, a navy captain, died when he was a baby – and he grew up extremely close to his mother until she remarried, much to his regret, when he was twelve. Sartre spent most of his life in Paris, where he often went to cafes on the Left Bank and sat on benches in the Jardin du Luxembourg. He had a strabismus, a wandering eye, and wore distinctive, heavy glasses. He was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize for literature, but refused it on the grounds that the award was capitalist and bourgeois. He was very short (five feet three inches) and frequently described himself as ugly. He wore his hair vigorously brushed back. When he died in 1980 (aged 74), 50,000 people accompanied his coffin through the streets of Paris...”

Written by Marianna Cerini, for CNN Beijing, China

Pollution masks have steadily and unavoidably entered everyday life in China. They are one of the first lines of defense against the choking smog that regularly blankets major cities and are seen as a necessity by millions of city-dwellers.

As acceptance grows, masks are moving from function to high-fashion. Style-savvy types match it with their outfits and Chinese designers from Paris to Shanghai have incorporated Swarovski-studded pieces or post-apocalyptic looks into their runway shows.

Perhaps the most outlandish vision belongs to Beijing designer Wang Zhijun, who has turned the surgical-style masks into an art project to raise awareness about China's pollution problems.

By repurposing high-end sneakers -- the kind that have sneakerheads foaming at their mouths -- into designer face masks, he's hoping to make a personal statement about the impact of pollution, as well as start a conversation among his peers.

"The masks make an impression, but they also show that you can use basic, everyday stuff to bring change into your life," he says.

"If that helps to raise environmental consciousness, then I can consider myself fairly satisfied. Though there's much more to be done."

Unusual material

Wang first started using designer sneakers to make face masks in 2014 and has since produced around 20 different pieces. Although initially running under the radar, one of his most recent works left many shoe hoarders cringing in disbelief.

He created what was possibly one of the most sought-after pollution masks ever made, using a pair of Kanye West-designed, limited edition Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2s. A pair of the coveted sneakers reportedly once resold on eBay for $10,000.

"I didn't even wear them. I took them out of the box and just cut them up to sew the mask," Wang recalls.

After Wang put the mask up for sale on eBay China in October, it drew a bid of more than $5,000. Far more than the $700 he had paid for the shoes, eBay ultimately blocked the transaction due to its price limits on first-time sellers.

But sale or not, Wang's work gave him exactly what he'd hoped for.

"Many western websites dedicated to fashion and footwear reported on the Yeezy mask. My other masks got a lot of attention, too. People started emailing me to ask where they could buy them," Wang says.

"But I'm not making them for a profit. Their purpose is to raise awareness about pollution in China. They are a creative project -- my own campaign to tackle the issue."

Running inspiration

Wang, who is a runner and avid sneaker collector, developed the idea after one of the regular blankets of smog that so often shrouds Beijing made it difficult for him to exercise outdoors.

"I used to run around my neighborhood in central Beijing, until I couldn't anymore. It would hurt my lungs, making it difficult to breathe," he says.

"I started reading up about pollution around then -- on English-language outlets, our country doesn't really say much about it. That's when I decided to act, starting from what I know best, and what's around me."

The 34-year-old had previously worked as a graphic designer at Puma and Saatchi&Saatchi and having created his own custom-made pair of Nikes inspired by the Chinese New Year horoscope, he decided to turn his passion for tinkering with sneakers into something more practical.

He carefully drafted the idea for his first designer sneaker face mask, and used an all-black cover made of a panel from a Nike jacket and a Nike Flyknit racer silo shoe.

On his second attempt he moved exclusively to using sneakers and now incorporates most parts of the shoe -- from laces and insoles to side panels and tongues -- into his masks, without even sketching out his designs.

"I just picture the mask, and start dissecting the shoes. It comes naturally," Wang says.

Each mask is unique, and takes him around five days to craft. Although Wang used 3M filters from the local convenience store for his early models, his newest ones are fitted with Respro filter valves imported from the UK.

Health professionals haven't tested them, but the designer believes they are fully functional.

"I ran a half marathon in one of them, and noticed discoloration afterwards. They work," he says.

You won't find him sporting his own masks these days -- since catching global attention, the designer mostly uses them for promotional photoshoots.

And while at first he had to dig into his own sneaker collection or those of his friends, big brands have started sending him their latest models to be dissected.

"They all thought I was crazy initially, but then they got on board with the project and started offering up their sneakers," he says.

Future plans

Puma has now featured his work in one of its global campaigns and watch company Swatch recently asked him to create a bespoke mask for one of its ads.

Regardless of the commercial attention, Wang seems determined to keep the masks a passion project.

"I am happy to collaborate with labels, but I am really not interested in turning this into a mass-scale venture. Nor do I care to attract the fashion crowd simply because my work 'looks cool,'" he says.

"It's about keeping the focus on the pollution problem, not about running a business or looking trendy."

The concept that the atelier follows is the search for the obvious, the simple, the respectful and long-lived. What makes people think that besides being great furniture producers they follow a method that applies to all work. Wood is the main structure that they use, always creating an environment of "ecology and respect for nature. It is in the genesis and DNA of the Atelier the environmental and social responsibility. Cause the least possible impact on our planet and know how to divide the financial result with all those who are part of the productive chain, motivate us to exist and to work in the pursuit of excellence.

I was on a street fair in a famous neighbourhood in downtown SP. These chairs were in a store and my first impression was the Legs.
The Legs/structure made out of wood really got me thinking woodcraft like a method and creative way to make an object.
I could search more about the types of wood and the technique of making a wood object, if it is difficult or achievable for the time of this project.

"Ergonomics is about ensuring a good fit between people and what they interact with. This could include the objects they use or the environments they live in. You should consider ergonomics in the design of every product, system or environment.

You should give ergonomics priority early in the design process. Ignoring ergonomics can lead to designs that are likely to fail commercially - as they don't fit the needs of the user."

"In 1985 I made my first pair of spectacles whilst studying for a Bachelor of Design (majoring in Jewellery and Metalsmithing) at The University of South Australia. They were reminiscent of 'Jules-Verne-under-the-sea-the-Apocalypse-is-coming' which was very much about what was going on in the '80s - clunky but funky.

From there evolved a 30 year journey exploring alternative, innovative ways to form and colour a variety of precious and refractive metals. A back-to-basics approach along with a good understanding and respect for mechanical construction has driven a fascination with a frame’s hinge design element. This is a constant and defining feature in the evolution of my eyewear. Similarly with my bespoke jewellery, I enjoy the ongoing challenge of resolving designs that deliver longevity, comfort and functionality for the wearer."

I want to look at glasses not only as a functional or as accessory anymore, nut more the way would look at something that makes a statement about us.
Glasses in a way tells the personality of a person on the first contact. Is a channel that transmits your own personality brought an object.

The "face"as well is a critic point of a human when interacting with another person. So putting an object in front can give confidence and also a sense of originality.

Switching up your bold eyewear choices has never been as easy as with Nasim Sehat's "Biz Eyes." The fashionable specs come with a collection of 3D-printed interchangeable parts, letting style mavens customize their look at will. Colorful swirls, geometric shapes and sculptural statements can let the world know how when you're feeling bold.
The basic Biz Eyes frames come in a sleek transparent resin, with circular lenses. Around each eye opening is a set of locking grooves, that with a twist, can pop Sehat's wild decorative attachments on and off with the flick of the wrist. The selection of styles are inspired by everyday life and design that Sehat has experienced- the urban metropolis, expressionism, minimalism, music, culture and the like. With 3D printing, Sehat was able to output these inspirations into shape and form, using an array of colors in durable plastic. Biz Eyes come in to collections: the vibrant colors of the Genesis Collection, and the muted, minimalist geometry of Cream on Chrome Collection.

The Genesis collection is where bright pink meets hot turquoise, in squiggles, spikes, and abstracted circle shapes. The Cream on Chrome Collection calls to mind art movements like Bauhaus and Minimalism. Clad in just black and cream. The screw-on pieces retrace artistic shapes and designs. The lightweight 3D-printed designs were meant to take eye wear out of the realm of function, and into the world of jewelry, used to make bold fashion statements. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

In this project, I want to do something that comes out of the paper, that is useful and, in a way, that the people can interact and use in the day-to-day.
Researching other people's projects and looking at my past projects, I tried to find my style. Being this the last project of the year, I want to show my style in the final result.
I have discovered that I am connected to the most industrial area of ​​things, always discovering how they behave and where the inspiration came from making a certain functional and useful object the way it is. I then decided on making a product, and the way I found it to represent it was from Industrial Design.
The idea of ​​the end result, what was going to be at the end, was not clear in my head. It was then that when I decided to take Industrial Design books and follow designers and industrial designers in social networks, my idea began to unfold.
I realized that when I entered the world of furniture design, I was delighted with the various creative possibilities and how creative the result could be. The chairs were mainly what attracted me more attention, due to the practicality of being such a common furniture but that could unroll a creative process in creation.
Then my idea has finally made clear in my head, as the final design of the Foundation 2018 course I will create and make a chair. My Chair.

Do furniture forms influence our emotions?
According to existing literature, design provides rich interactions. Emotions such as astonishment, surprise, satisfaction, doubt, etc in design furniture follow the dichotomy rectilinear vs curvilinear forms. Studies show that rounded furniture elicits more positive feelings than squared shapes.

Strong connection between furniture design and emotional intelligence therefore has, or at least should have, a key role in the product design process, the art of making furniture from scratch.

Making furniture starts from ideas that, mixed with technology and creativity, turn into a new product ready to be sold.

Furniture we buy is the last step of a long process that starts from an input by business owners, designers, architects or contractors pass by hand-drawn sketches, virtual models, prototypes and finishes with manufacturing.

Product design is a problem solving exercise, where final product fills a gap.
Source: Online Design Teacher
Let's see all steps in product design.

Specifications, Research and Concept

No solutions are found without understanding problems. In case of furniture design, "problems" may be either social challenges, such as developing a flexible piece of furniture that fits several private or business areas and technical challenges, such as developing something scalable and better than what is on the market.

Balancing specifications and creativity is a key point in product design. Target audience, appropriate use, cost efficiency and feasibility are always kept in mind before starting with research and concept design.

Let's consider an actual example: we need to design and make a small armchair for hotels. Armchairs are going to be placed in four-star hotel rooms next to the breakfast table. Armchairs must be easily movable and have a smooth shape to either raise positive reactions and welcome the guest when entering hotel room. We want a contemporary armchair in polyurethane foam with ideally a non-removable cover in faux leather. Armchair must be fireproof.

Once design brief is shared, designer researches markets and demands, either to find similar products or to be sure there is nothing similar available. He also thinks about how to improve look or ergonomics of existing furniture and how new furniture can be successful.

Back to our example, a small armchair for hotel use, research may start with discovering closest alternatives and comparing backrest height, width of the seat and upholstery to achieve a new product that has all elements enhanced. Being an armchair for breakfast or reading, dimensions and forms are something in between a writing desks chair and a lounge armchair. More, concept takes into account constraint of the base, manufacturing complexity, product lifecycle.

Goal of research is having drawings with dimensions and selection of materials/finishes that resemble the most the final outcome. Hand draw sketches are tweaked once turned into models.

Creating Furniture Models

Two-dimensional model adds concreteness. Rough dimensions and shapes are transferred in a virtualized environment, sizes are adjusted to give more and more reality to the initial concept. 2D model aims at returning a visual and aesthetic impact of the product. The requested armchair is taking shapes.

Results of our example is armchair Neuma, developed by 999design.it
Neuma by 999design.it - 2D Model
Following computerized 3D model often highlights problems and flaws in terms of geometry, material proofing, volume and weigh, points of fastening upholstery. 3D modelling is the closest virtual representation of final product and it is meant for further product modifications.
Neuma by 999design.it - 3D model (front view) Neuma by 999design.it - 3D model - rear and side view Neuma by 999design.it - 3D model (view from above)
First Mould and Furniture Prototype

Let's keep on using our example, an armchair. Moulding is the step that follows modelling.
Neuma mould: time to see if needed amount of space matches specifications.
Mould is not the prototype still, rather a sintered and rigid form that reflects volumes and dimensions. Moulding is the step of product design process where you may have to go back to 2D model and make corrections or proceed with prototype. It is time to be critical and check once again furniture functionality, sizes, comfort of the seating, stability, balance and space for feet.

Testing has not ended, yet: as the armchair is covered, also the adaptability of coating to the structure needs to be tested so that no issues happen when upholstering. Once everything is verified and settled, prototype is ready to be manufactured for further controls.
3-Exceeding parts are trimmed and contoured, polyurethane is blown.
2-double-sided mould is opened.
See the steps of prototyping Neuma:

1- Double-sided mould. Foam is poured:

Prototype is ready. As specifications stated that the armchair had to be upholstered with a non-removable faux-leather cover, now it is time to test covers. Upholstery fabric is sewed, either by hand or using a sewing machine.

As well as research, concept and modelling, also prototyping involves extensive testing to see, at last, vision becomes reality. Prototype needs to be further tweaked before sending the final design to manufacture.

Manufacturing of the chair

Initial concept has become a sketch, evolved into a two-dimensional image, a 3D model and turned into a prototype ready for industrialization. A new piece of furniture is ready to enter the market: it can be manufactured by hand or by machines, in small quantity or as mass-production.

Concluding the history of Neuma: such armchair has been tested and finally it has become a mass-product manufactured by a local Italian furniture company. Interested in buying this small armchair for contract use? Check online on SedieDesign.

Sartre helped me to grasp the idea that all the objects we use are a construction if thousands of years for a simple goal. For example, the chair is made just for sitting and nothing else, I have learned that the simple act of deconstructing something can help take this "prejudice".
