A theme in the quest for the creative place; via cutting out big holes, one can create voids in the office plan which seems impossible in the over clogged layouts of our present time. Creating voids for areas of non-work places, we are faced with the archaic settlement of a communal place…
Oblivion is conceived as a very basic geometry, the conical shape provides many structural advantages apart from an aesthetic statement. All the vertical posts and brackets that are holding the horizontal surfaces are pointing to the central point of the structure.
Therefore, all the vertical surfaces support the horizontal ones and vice versa. Thus, we can have all the shelves, desktops, seating units, etc, without the use of any leg supports. This provides great freedom in practical use as well as a visual lightness to the design, where all horizontal surfaces are floating freely without disruption of a column.
Each unit is constructed in several steps decided together with the architect and the customer. When the decisions for the inner construction and functions are considered; this concerns the planning of the shelves, desks, cabinets, seats, etc, depending on the desired performance that this void is dedicated to. Finally, the colors for the outer panels and inner seating units can be selected in a presented fabric chart or again be developed uniquely with the customer if needed.
