Digitised Design Processes

An elegant synthesis of technology, design and its fine application results into an unusual fluid piece of furniture.

- Meghna Mehta

A method and technique to create an endlessly variable, site-specific Lobby and Garden furniture was launched in 2016 by rat[LAB]INTERIORS and has now evolved to be a part of Parametric Art Collection 2017. The furniture piece ‘Amorphous Surfaces’ features the use of mathematically driven algorithms that can transform orthogonal nature of contemporary furniture into fluid and amorphous forms. These algorithms have been used to generate the form of a bench, which is then constructed from timber profiles and painted in weather proof PU coating. Parametric design methods are used to drive elegance to form double curved surfaces through sectioned components.

rat[LAB]INTERIORS is a subset of rat[LAB]-Research in Architecture & Technology, started as an initiative by Anchal Chaudhary & Sushant Verma to explore formal intersections of parametric design techniques and interior spaces. The collaborative venture focuses on rational use of technology for design of interior spaces, to foster memorable spaces, distinctive brands and meaningful experiences. There is a strong intent of creating transformative spaces that can positively affect the usability by creating an exchange between the interior and exterior environment.
