Le Mamanu

E Uiga ia Zig Nofoa

O le mamanu e musuia e le manaʻo e faʻaalia uiga faʻapitoa o fafie i le tulaga o luitau faʻapitoa e manaʻomia uma le matagofie ma le faʻatinoga. Ia Jules S. Jaffe, o le lu’i lea o le mamanu o meaafale. O le luʻitau iinei o le tuʻuina atu lea o le mautu ma le malosi e faʻafeiloaʻi ai se lagona o le mama ma le le mautonu i le mamanu mulimuli. O le nofoa o loʻo i ai se faʻataʻitaʻiga malosi ae o loʻo i ai foi se lagona o le mama ma le toʻafimalie e pei o le geometry, na amata mai i le Pythagoreans lea na faia ai le mamanu.

Le Fa'ailogaina

E Uiga i le A' Design Award Uʻamea

O le A' Design Award Uʻamea na manumalo ai Zig Nofoa, o se faamaoniga mamalu e tuuina atu i mamanu lelei e faataunuu ai manaʻoga faapolofesa ma pisinisi e faamoemoeina mai galuega ua mamanuina lelei. O ē manumalo i le Uʻamea e faaalia ai le tomai tele, le faapitoa maualuga, le malamalama o tagata poto ma le mafai fatufatuaʻi o ē na faia. E faamoemoeina Zig Nofoa e avea ma mea ua matuā vivii, mataʻina ma pelepelea e aogā ma fou. O lenei mamanu na manumalo i le A' Design Award Uʻamea e tuufaatasia ai faiga sili o le pisinisi ma e iai uiga faatekonolosi mafai ua fesoʻotaʻi ma le poto ma le taleni. Ona o lona faatuatuaina, e tatau ai Zig Nofoa ona faaaloalogia ma ua mamanuina e tuuina mai ai faaleleiga o le olaga e fesoasoani e faia ai e le lalolagi se nofoaga e sili atu ona lelei.

Pepa Fa'asalalau

Fa'amaoniaga, sui o le 'au ma fa'amatalaga fa'atekinisi na saunia e le tagata mamanu.

Uiga Fa'apitoa: The stool employs a unique triple mitered joint that did not exist before. The challenge here was to provide enough stability and strength to accommodate a feeling of lightness and tension in the final design.
Fua & Fa'apipi'i: 505 x 185 x 180
Fa'ailoga: stool, chair, sitting device
Tekonolosi Gaosiga: The design was realized in maple because it has the requisite capability to be accurately cut without worrying about splintering. This is actually version 4.2 that took place over 2 years with a variety of materials (oak) and a variety of machining techniques. Ultimately, a set of table saw fixtures that were precisely measured and inclined were used to have the surface meet with extremely high accuracy. The challenge with any cantilever is strength and stability. Hence the large mating surfaces. There are no screws or any other metal parts used in construction. Only wood. Purity of materials was a prime consideration.
Lu'itau o le Mamanu: The continuous challenge of creating functional items that are also aesthetically pleasing is a constant challenge. Research in form, function and the engineering needed to accomplish the mutual goals of fulfilling those aspirations is a constant pursuit. Ancient concepts related to the golden triangle and its harmony with human perception is related to the construction of this stool as it incorporates a triangular structure that also needs to be extremely stable. The final realization was an exercise in precise and multi-dimensional angles.
Su'esu'ega: As with all projects the tension between good design and stability and strength in construction is paramount. In this case, many of the preliminary designs, when constructed cracked under the weight of the sitter. In addition, since the surface between the base and the supporting rod and the supporting rod and the seat are not orthogonal, it took a great deal of geometric reasoning to make those top and bottom surfaces parallel, as in any design close to this.
Fa'aosofia: Overall the stool is an homage to Gerrit Rietveld. However it incorporates a Zen-like feeling of peacefulness and rest but with the tension of a cantilever. Hence, it uses contrasting elements to achieve its unique design. The stool inspires sitting upright in a meditative position and is also excellent for artists such as guitarists and cellists to use as it has no protruding parts and the base retracts from the seat edge. It is very stable but allows freedom of movement.
Umi o le Poloketi: The project took 2 years to execute in a workshop in La Jolla, CA, USA.
Fa'agasologa o Galuega: Simply sit on it.
Pateni: None
