QJD mantis wildetecture chair – Exploring wild Africa insectiture and Arachniture architectural and furniture conceptual design ideas – Which is a furthering of the wild Africa fauvistic ideals branded wildetecture that QJD design studio has been exploring over the last 5 years or so. Experimenting with architectural shadow projection, perceived kinetic architecture, earth branded architecture, disintegration of perspective, human driven architectural mechanisms, trompe-l'oeil in architecture, the erxell concept and Africa fauvistic architecture. To mention a few synaptic design inspirations. - Because end product furniture design is more immediate than architecture - Exploring the above ideas in this medium gets to a much faster experimentation of form to end product.
The QJD mantis chair is combining the latest cad cam and flat sheet 2 dimensional material into a wild 3d shape and form. As most homes are small and cannot accommodate sculpture and furniture, the wildetect, insectiture, arachniture wild ideal is attempting to create furniture that is a fusion of sculpture, wild colour and is a piece of furniture and art all in one. Being able to see through the pieces like lace adds to the illusion of space that QJD design studio is conceptualising. Bringing wild, wild shape, colour and abit of tongue in cheek wildefoolery into a domestic home setting. South Africans need to respect the colours and shapes of Africas bushveldt in the home. A wildetect mantis chair can be that subliminal reminder.
