We have striven to create the ultimate relaxation gateway for a seating design and we designed a swivel and flexuous uniform which is simple, stylish, modern curvy form and it is designed to bring comfort and pleasure to your life. 

Vesna Sofa is not only an eye-catching modern piece of furniture, it is literary the embodiment of comfort, pleasure and relaxation. It is comfortable in any living places, offices, houses, hotels, airport, exhibitions and also open places like terraces, fairs or beaches.

Fluid uniform of Vesna Lounge Sofa integrates with high tech modern materials and also classical materials like leather or velvet.

Vesna Sofa is designed in order to make you feel snug and comfy and it is practically asking you to take a moment and sit or lie down and feel it. We think that it’s pretty irresistible.

After the design of  Charme bathtub we wanted to develop and re-visit of fluid and continuous form. 
Eidos Chair and Seating Design shows us a traditional typology but as we have designed for Charme Bathtub,  flexuous and spun form, ergonomics and functionality of Eidos are blended in a continuous three dimensional shape.

So this unbroken singular surface shape has a direct relationship with the whole human body form. And with the advanced high level design and manufacturing techniques and also strength and lightness materials provide us to develop modular systems such as from chair to bar stool. Thus we have designed comfortable seating elements for all public and private places.

Pare  washbasin is inspired by the movement and power of water. 
Nature has been designed by own elements. Such as a rock can be shaped by a single water droplet in the nature world. So this was the main idea for the washbasin design. At this stage of process, we also wanted a artistic visionary shape with the combination of concave and convex continuous edges which define organic form.
Formal movement and asymmetrical transition are blended between horizontal and vertical twists and bends in the curvature of form.

And also we wanted to add more function for the washbasin design such as shelf systems for the bathroom accessories. So we have designed the other versions of Pare and we called one of them is tron-version. Because after the design process it looks like one of the transport ship in the tron movie.

At this level, after we have designed Charme bathtub, Pare and Monotip washbasin, we wanted to complete the bathroom furniture series with Denovo wall-hung wc pan design. 

So we also wanted to stick to the previous design formations and keep the specific formal language. Curvilinear geometries allow us to design blending smooth continuous form in the three dimensional space. This continuous form provides ergonomic quality. And also we wanted to use new advanced technologies for the toilet seat cover part. We have designed full or semi-automatic cover system to open or close the cover part. So Denovo will be ergonomic, functional, singular and clear.

During the experiment in couple of advanced three dimensional software technologies, we wanted to designed very simple, not too much curvilinear or complex but continuous and fluidity shape.

Monotip washbasin have been designed by minimum affect of movement between soft-hard and solid-void motion in three dimensional space. And also minimum functional necessity relations integrate with singular fluidity form and it creates own identity.

Tables are designed to make life easier for the people and they are one of the symbols of modern life and historical development of mankind after middle ages.Specially in the era of new technology, design of the technologies such as high speed internet, 3rd or 4th generation mobile systems are faster than our modern life and also our continous design transformations. So we believe that something is missing in this interaction.

We wanted to create a continous shape which has  direct relationship with the modern era, allows  a dynamic form. And we believe that there will be more equilibrium points between in these harmonic relations.

Thus we wanted to revisit of our past project of izmir opera house and we wanted to reinvent in different scale.  We believe our design language in opera house project is proper for the integration of new dimension.  In this way, we started to design a new table design series for television studios.

First of all we wanted to design a great surface sensation. Our curvature-calligraphic lines of liquefy surface shaped and inspired by all natural lines like from human anatomies to typographical geometries or to organisms of nature. Combinations of concave and convex continous lines integrate each other. They bend, turn and twist in multiple directions it create organic, fluid, functional, ergonomic and sensual form.

Our dynamic geometry allows us to use new advanced technologies such as three dimensional softwares, new production methods and also latest fabrication materials for example corian, fiberglass, reinforced plastic and polyurethane.

We believe that we created exquisite-elegant design has contextual relationship between temporal and spatial connections which provide us to create ergonomical, functional morphological surface for a furniture design.

Competition entry from Nuvist Architecture & Design for Izmir Opera House competition…

Art has a great role in showing what happens in human beings’ life. Soul, intelligence and the emotions are the reflections of the community, and Art forms the social identities of communities. It also shows us the difference between the various social identities. Global influences effect the types of knowledge acquisitions or the social values in the art, and the artists determine the standards of modern life.

Thus, art centers have many roles beside their fundamental functions that should be participant, shared with society and create a modern level in connection between the citizens and the artists’ works. This concept is the key criteria for the Izmir Opera House Project. The project should be reflecting the history, the culture and the modern life in Izmir, furthermore it should be an identity for the city of Izmir.

In this context, we have started to design an urban art dome that we call Artistic Foyer. The urban power effects the functional system, and the  functional system defines the artistic foyer. As a result, all these things together create a parametric topography which forming the dome.

Wolf D. Prix presents ‘Energy Roof’ in Perugia, Italy

Wolf D. Prix, Design Principal and CEO of COOP HIMMELB(L)AU presented the design for the ‘Energy Roof’ during a press conference in Perugia, Italy, today. ‘Energy Roof’ is part of the research project ‚Walking through the History’ of the University of Perugia. Beside the archaeological study this research comprised also the creation of an architectural icon.

‘Energy Roof’ serves as canopy along Via Mazzini in the center of Perugia and at the same time creates the entry point to the archaeological underground passage leading through the history of Perugia. The passage connects the city center with the mini metro station Pincetto. Historical documents show the existence of the old Etruscan city wall in the area below Piazza Giacomo Matteotti which COOP HIMMELB(L)AU proposes to excavate as part of an underground public gallery space exhibiting the history of Perugia. Openings in the ground of the Piazza Giacomo Matteotti visually connect the underground passage with the ‘Energy Roof’.

COOP HIMMELB(L)AU developed the design of the roof with the goal to generate energy for the city. While the orientation of the west wing is optimized in relation to solar radiation, the east wing captures wind. The roof consists of three layers: the energy generating top layer, the structural layer in the middle and a layer on the bottom as a combination of laminated glazing and translucent pneumatic cushions. The top layer includes transparent photovoltaic cells to generate electricity and shade the sun. The orientation of the individual cells is generated and optimized by a computer driven scripting program. Furthermore five wind turbines that are placed inside the structural layer are generating additional energy. Both the roof and the underground passage are energy self-sufficient.

The new paradigmatic design of the ‘Energy Roof’ creates a distinctive and highly recognizable icon for the city and a statement for aesthetic sustainability corresponding with the ancient buildings of Via Mazzini.
