Project Description
It is a kind of language that focuses on instilling visual tension through objects that are not furniture but generators of mental images. Design that does not impose its functionality in common terms, but aspires to create its own "forms library", a blank page, to create a universe in which it is possible to reinvent and rediscover things; mobilize associative properties, creativity, the ability to see more than what is explicitly stated.

Description of the project
Summary
This is an attempt to create a new natural symbolism via biomorphic objects that are dedicated to an imaginary use. The intention of this research is to concentrate on finding a special representation of objects which only remind natural specimens in order to propose to viewers to intuitively impose meaning on the objects, which gives complete freedom to the imagination; This is a sort of direction of the mind towards a reality that is still unknown, accessible only to the unconscious. The unconscious, which has its own language, its own system and mechanism, built on the basis of any individually accumulated experience.
That is why this kind of approach acts like poetry, where the word is not just about transferring information because we don't read it linearly, but in a spiral way, discovering new sides every time. Several meanings of the same word are constantly mobilized and through this, activate the seeking energy, which can hold the mind's attention and promote the fruitful development of creation of metaphor. This fantasy becomes a natural environment for thought, makes neurons and connections work. It awakens the sleeping eyes, causes the consciousness to fall asleep and then accelerates it.
We become co-author through these instruments, which do not aim at external modification, but seek the possibility of a direct influence on the behavior of the people.
Key objectives for sustainability
This work is a conception trying to create a new dialog between nature and today's possibilities in terms of knowledge, new technologies and materials. Because design today is directly connected to the perception of the world. It’s a reflection of emotional and cultural values. So designers can create new literate and thoughtful approaches in nature-inspired design, representing all the variety of ways nature could be embodied in object design in order to create a better world. All these “visual messages” are directed to the translation of ideas to make society have a more careful attitude to the environment, to the objects, the nature itself and, consequently, to ourselves. So this conception is not only about visual changes but also influences the relationships between humans and the world, their domestic space; questions and circumvents the limits of normative and design in general.
Key objectives for aesthetics and quality
In the past the understanding of the principle of nature was limited due to the possibilities and knowledge of that time. Now, it is possible to define the logic in the “chaos of nature” and apply it in different spheres including design. Contemporary design seems to have taken on completely another direction. Now one of the main inspirations is organic shapes, structures and processes.
Nature inspired design is a concept which broadcasts and forms a specific attitude to something. And with the advent of 3D printing we can literally represent the fusion of natural and artificial geometries in order to express the logic and beauty of nature. So, paradoxically, new technologies can bring people closer to the true instinctive view of a non-linear world.
It represents how contemporary organic design is constantly growing and evolving to the new emotions and meanings. And the complexity of all living organisms in its unpredictable difficulty which cannot be calculated and integrated into some kind of mechanical system. It is an organism where everything is intertwined, and like all living creatures it is a perpetual invention, new and unexpected form.
Like the music we hear: it is difficult to talk about it, it can only be directed. We may not understand the meaning of it, but we feel how it sounds.
And the meaning here is what was revealed to us, what we felt.
Key objectives for inclusion
The activity of artistic domains is international because this is the work with the unconscious feelings. So it is also unobtrusive and works as a philosophy which generates certain thoughts without imposing. Instaid, people have a feeling that they arrived at some conclusions by themselves.
Biomorphic forms are accessible for everyone because they lead to the temptation to look for analogies in everything, and this is one of the characteristics of the functioning of the mind. No one can claim to be free from this property. We are forced to interpret, trying to project a familiar form onto any system of lines or volumes, of relationships, accumulating knowledge and bringing it into grandiose systems. And through that interact and build interconnections with the environment, technical innovations, sociology, philosophy, cultural traditions etc.
Innovative character
In this project I am not trying to follow the archetypes of objects but to stimulate the imagination. The poetic approach in design is not just about using everyday signs. This is another level of organizing things, which allows us to do what cannot be done with simple functionality. It is like use and behavior: to use an object is to make it perform one function and only one. Whereas behavior engages several functions, several gestures, several experiences.
A poetic approach - it is indeed the work with the behavior, a position in relation to the world, to others, etc. Consequently, it is rather active in these notions because it makes us rethink our way of being, our behavior and our attitudes towards things.
