("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: The inspiration came out of a plastic toy from my youth. The basic idea was to let simplicity and low cost, provide a design of ultimate versatility, modularity and flexibility in applications and compositions.
: We wanted to keep it simple, easy to assemple and allow it to change according to future needs and desires at a minimal cost, time and effort.
: Our first priority is to see it realized, in cooperation with a manufacturing company abroad, and then start promoting it in order for our design to find a niche in home or office interiors.
: It took about one month from September to October 2011.
: We wanted to pursuit our first inspiration, and then we realized that it would be ideal as an entry for A' design Award contest.
: It is still a concept design, not in production. We might sell the production rights, or agree its manufacturing and promotion on royalty basis.
: A fascination that started about one and a half year ago to design works that adapt to time, mood and need changes. Even multiple uses or different applications of the same design.
: There might have been, but i cannot recall a name at the moment. Information technology and social networks certainly have a strong influence on design aspects and attitudes.
: I can see a very wide target group. I think this design has no age, culture, or border limitations.
: I have been contacting market search for private and commercial projects for many years. I don't think there is something similar.Do you?
: Bojo, is a funny word in Greece we used this expression as kids to describe somebody that makes you laugh, like a clown.I think the design is very cheerful and colorful, and if something makes your life easier it can certainly add some joy and happiness.
: 3D Cad Pytha, modeler and renderer, photoshop, my pantone color sets and thick model paper to check out dimensions and compositions. Then some tests were run with plywood boards cut with CNC machinery for scale models.
: While it starts from a simple square module, it is so versatile that develops like a living organism and expands in space.
: The design was developed by BllendDesignTeam members (me and Anastasia Rokkou), previous experience in design, material research and manufacturing know-how enabled its realization. Our engineers gave their feedback for various manufacturing and stability issues. We consulted of course manufacturers working with the materials, since it is a common practice for our office to consult experienced manufacturers and their feedback is always an invaluable asset.
: We tried to keep it as simple and common in every place as possible. Sustainability approaches, low transportation and manufacturing cost were prerequisite in order to allow for our design to be mass produced and reach every corner of the continent.
: Research in modular furniture that are available in the market has been contacted. Of course, previous market search conducted for customer projects has resulted in a very rich database of products, materials, designs and designers that we consult every time we need some relevant info.
: Keeping it simple. It is always very tempting to design something with a view to impressing.
: It is the only opportunity to address a wider community of manufacturers and promotion comes easier.
: "Less is more", and this design can prove it.
: We hope that this design will be loved as much as we do. In case this happens, A' design award will have played the most important role. Even if not, we are still grateful and we thank you for this award. It certainly gives us the strength to try harder.
