Nóize chairs by Estudio Guto Requena

Brazilian designers Estudio Guto Requena used audio recorded on the streets of São Paulo to distort the shapes of these 3D-printed chairs (+ movie).

The Nóize chairs combine three iconic Brazilian chair designs with the sounds of the Grajau, Tiradentes and Santa Ifigenia areas of the city.

The designers distorted computer models of the chairs with the data from the audio recordings. The resulting designs were then sent to Belgium to be 3D-printed.

The original chairs were the Oscar by Sergio Rodrigues, the São Paulo by Carlos Motta and the Giraffe by Lina Bo Bardi, Marcelo Ferraz and Marcelo Suzuki.

As cadeiras Nóize, desenvolvidas pelo Estudio Guto Requena, foram concebidas digitalmente a partir da mescla do som captado nas ruas de São Paulo com ícones do design brasileiro.

A cadeira Girafa, de autoria da Lina Bo Bardi, Marcelo Ferraz e Marcelo Suzuki, a cadeira Oscar, do Sérgio Rodrigues e a cadeira São Paulo, do Carlos Motta foram modeladas em plataforma digital 3D reproduzindo fielmente seu modelo físico. A partir de uma programação computacional feita pelo Estudio Guto Requena, com uso da linguagem Processing, deformou-se esse modelo digital através da sua fusão com o arquivo de áudio coletado em três locais diferentes em São Paulo: Grajaú, Cidade Tiradentes e Santa Ifigênia. O resultado é uma cadeira-manifesto, que para além do ato de sentar, instiga à reflexão.

O arquivo digital resultante desse processo foi enviado via internet para a Bélgica, diretamente para uma máquina de impressão 3D. Após a impressão das três cadeiras, elas foram enviadas para o Brasil.

Vozes da cidade, ruídos da periferia e ressonâncias do concreto, desconstroem clássicos do mobiliário brasileiro, onde o que importa não é o resultado estético das peças, mas o seu processo de design.

São Paulo é uma cidade linda. Não-obvia, complexa e diversa, se faz interessante ao receber diferentes povos, credos e culturas sem preconceito, miscigenada, improvisada, surpreendente, irônica, colcha de retalhos repleta de belezas escondidas. Apaixonar-se por ela é uma questão de sobrevivência.

As 3 peças desenvolvidas pelo Estudio Guto Requena para esta exposição buscam assimilar as belezas de São Paulo, especialmente aquelas fora do eixo, numa experimentação numérica com ruídos, desconstrução e mixagem, a partir das novas possibilidades trazidas com as tecnologias digitais.

“This cabinet is suitable for shallow books, like poetry and literature,” says de Hoop, who previously designed a free-standing Frames cabinet using five layers of wood to provide space for larger books.

Antisocial Chair!

The Booth lounge chair was designed for those times when all you need is a little darn privacy! A soft hood surrounds the seated individual to muffle sounds and keep them partially out of sight. The removable hood can also be detached for a more casual and approachable look.
