DESIGN NAME: Marigold Seating Collection
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Puff
INSPIRATION: The 3D petal work is inspired and interpreted from Indian Marigold flowers. The geometrical placement of the petals and vividness of the petal work is translated in origami cell structures creating 3D cells
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Marigold Pouf collection is inspired from the marigold flowers from India that are used for rituals and other auspicious occasions for various ceremonies. The vibrant hues of petal work and natural color palette of the base linen are reminiscent of the seemingly virtuous and pleasingly simple yet vivid marigold flowers. The origami formation of petals is solely handcrafted for various patterns and effects. The result is a repetitive cell work that forms a vibrantly 3D tactile pouf that livens up any indoor space. The poufs are available in various colors, patterns and versions. All poufs come with a zipper closure for easier maintenance.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The Marigold seating collection is a 3d origami interpretation of Indian Marigold flowers. The colour palette is vivid like the flowers creating accent pieces in living spaces. All the seaters come with a zipper for easier maintenance.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The collection started in October 2012 and was completed in April 2013. The collection was exhibited at Milan Design Week, Ventura Lambrate in 2013, Salone Satellite 2014, New York Design Week 2014.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The Marigold seating collection is inspired from the marigold flowers from India that are used for rituals and other auspicious occasions for various ceremonies. The petal work of the flowers have been interpreted in the form of origami. The vibrant hues of felt petal work and natural color palette of the base linen are reminiscent of the seemingly virtuous and pleasingly simple yet vivid marigold flowers. The origami formation of petals is solely handcrafted for various patterns and effects. The result is a repetitive cell work that forms a vibrantly 3D tactile pouf that livens up any indoor space.
The poufs are available in various colors, patterns and versions. All poufs come with a zipper closure for easier maintenance.
CHALLENGE: The challenge for this project was to achieve origami cell work with handcrafted techniques.
