Design de superfície aplicado ao mobiliário: a estética Art Déco como referência

Abstract

The design achieves the most different areas, between them is the surface design, which is currently in force as a specific field. The cause for the significance given to the context is on interdisciplinarity, that stimulates the development of new resources for project realizations. This study worked with the union of surface design and furniture design, with the aim of developing a collection of side tables. The merger of these two fields results in the creation of a furniture whose strongest quality is the surface design. The concept applyied in the project is the Art Deco aesthetic, originated in France in the late 1925 and with essence in the exaggerated ornaments and the mixing of materials, combined with straight lines, curves and geometric shapes applied in sober colors. Thus, using a combination of the project methodologies of Löbach (2001) and Baxter (1998), proposes the development of a collection, joining functionality and concept. The result fulfilled the initial proposal, generating a collection of tables materialized in MDF by laser cutting, having a single model of base and six interchangeable tops. In addition, the project's contribution to the scope of design research is relevant, since there are few jobs that include the union of these two areas. The discussed approach assists in attracting new methods to be used to develop products in this segment, besides the application of a concept that adds significant value to the result.
