Nature with its astonishing perfect geometry has always been the primary source of inspiration for most forms of creative projects. Viewed in nanoscale, seemingly organic items exhibit an almost chilling combination of mathematical precision and chaos. Could such an odd aesthetic be adapted to furniture design?
Created by Milan-based design studio CTRL ZAK in collaboration with Davide Barzaghi, Quartz armchair has a system that couples two-dimensional pentagonal and hexagonal wooden structures, which develop in three dimensions following natural crystalloid formations. The geometric volumes are covered with ecological fabrics in mixed colour variations producing an end result that resembles more a wild microhabitat than an armchair. The Quartz armchair is produced by italian company D3CO.
