About the Item

Element 3 Seater Bench by Idaaf Architects Dimensions: W 175 x D 40 x H 55 cm Materials: Century Old Oak Made of solid Maple wood, this 3-seater bench ‘Museum’ is one of the pieces of the ‘Element’ collection influenced by the Georgian Oda house and the architect Giorgi Chakhava’s 'Construction Element'. The stool consists of five independent parts inserted into each other. Assembling/disassembling is easy and requires no fasteners. The bench is 2 or 3-seater and is designed so that the legs can be used as barriers between the seats if necessary. ‘Element’ Bulk Stool is made using forest trees that have been felled as the result of natural causes or from one hundred years old oak wood beams which once supported a family house. It now continues to work in a different form as an interior sculpture. ‘Element’ It is the specific shape and its modified dimensions that creates the variations of furniture. Due to the changing structures and variety of materials, the ‘element’ is constantly updated and offers the possibility of functional freedom. It is easy to assemble/disassemble and does not require brackets. The ‘Element’ collection was influenced by Georgian traditional Oda houses and the 'Construction Element' created by Giorgi Chakhava (1923-2007), an iconic Georgian architect. While working on her book, "Soviet Bus Stops in Georgia" published in 2017, Nana drew attention to Chakhava’s concrete element invention where he used a simple jigsaw like form to assemble various structures. The Element Collection uses the same basic shape to create different pieces of furniture. It’s changing structures and a variety of materials to provide flexible and functional freedom. It is easy to assemble or disassemble and does not require brackets or fixtures. Created and handcrafted in Tbilisi using domestic materials, the collection combines traditional craftsmanship with the contemporary language of sinuous form which makes them appear sculptural. Each piece results from a well-thought through idea and a delicate construction process. These unique pieces are identifiable by their pronounced patterns and imperfections that together give furniture a warm, lustrous quality. Some of the exhibited wooden pieces are made from the supporting beams of a Georgian Oda House. The collection includes chairs, tables, benches, stools, shelves, consoles and many more. Depending on the material, the items can be used both indoors and outdoors. Idaaf Architects was established in Tbilisi in 2016 and is led by the architect Nana Zaalishvili. Studio works on multidisciplinary principles combining Architecture, Interior Design and Furniture, as well as Research and Material Studies. Each project is the results from the deep cultural, geographical and site research with the aim of creating timeless yet modern architecture and design in Georgia and abroad.
