TRIC | 2014 Home Sweet Home Design Contest

TRIC
Black Cork Stool
 
 
This project was made for Siemens' contest Home Sweet Home for the Blackcork brand that took place at the Lisbon Design Show, 2014.
 
In a simple and refined form, TRIC is a type of stool that is composed of two pieces. The introduction of stainless steel intends to highlight the black cork and, at the same time, create a contrast of texture between the organic and the industrial. This contrast is also felt at the sensory level, ranging between hot and cold, rough and soft. 
The seat base has emerged from the triangular shape, in order to maintain the rationality of the concept at the level of formal simplicity. 
The asymmetry between the dimensions of the base and the seat give greater stability to the bank. The fillet gives a friendly way, not only visually but also in their use, providing seating comfort. 
The metal piece that visually weaves the cork assumes three functions: the footrest, backrest and support to facilitate the handling of the bank. Its shape born around the cork block towards creating a formal symbiosis between both.
The name TRIC emerges from the triangular shape and the triple functionality of the metal piece and the seat base. 

This project took the second place in the Siemens' contest Home Sweet Home.
