Malunga ne-Zene Primary Function: Isitulo Sokutya
Book Text: Isitulo sokutya iZene sithatha impefumlelo yaso kumthi wemveli kunye noyilo lweDanish Modern. Iifreyimu ezilula ze-ash zilula kwaye ziqinile kwaye zixhasa izihlalo kunye nezingxelele ezenziwe ngomthi oqinileyo, ezibonakala ngathi zidada phezu kwefreyimu. Iimilo egobileyo yesihlalo/ingxelele ayenziwa ngokugoba umthi kodwa endaweni yoko ngokudibanisa nokuyila umthi oqinileyo woqweqwe. Njengothotho, iifreyimu ezilula ze-ash zibonelela ngokumanyana, kwaye izixhobo ezahlukeneyo zendawo ezikhethelwe izihlalo/iingxelele zivelisa umdla nokubaluleka.

- Iimpawu Ezizodwa
- This series of dining chairs have American ash frames and showcase different hardwood timbers for the seat/backrest combinations.
The chairs draw on the ancient art of 'coopering' or how oak barrels are made for fermentation purposes. The curved forms of the seat/backrest are not formed by bending but rather by joining and shaping solid hardwood timber.
The chair strives to be very strong and beautiful. In short: Zene -
elegant, comfortable and dependable. - Imilinganiselo nePakishini
- 515mm wide x 570mm deep x 890mm high
seat: 515mm wide x 390mm deep
back:515mm wide x 200mm high - Iithegi

- Ubuchwepheshe Bokuvelisa
- The Zene design evolved over a number of years. The starting point was probably a fascination with the art of coopering and how this has been applied to furniture design. Building the segmented seat and backrests took some practice to perfect, as did the development of custom modifications to standard workshop tools to shape and finish the smoothly shaped forms.
- Umngeni Woyilo
- Building the coopered seat/backrests was challenging as it required careful attention to the compression forces on the material and how best to achieve high compression without causing the seats to 'implode'.
Shaping the rough seats into finely finished and smooth curves required considerable re-working of the custom tooling to achieve the desired results - Uphando
- Danish modern designs were studied and absorbed to consider different ways of rendering the frame, and its relationship to the seat, and to think through the spatial relationship of the seat to the backrest.
Web search was used to think about typical dimensions for the seat but in the end prototyping proved most fun. - Inkuthazo
- The beauty grain and colour of indigenous African timber was a key aesthetic inspiration for this project. The more technical inspiration for the overall work, including the frame design came from iconic designers such as Hans J Wegner (for example the CH20 Elbow Chair). The coopering technique was inspired by Ontario furniture designer Adrian Ferrazzutti.
- Ubude Beprojekthi
- The first prototype was conceived in Johannesburg in 2007. It was slowly refined as background task over 10 years, and the first set of 6 chairs was produced in 2017
- Ukuhamba Komsebenzi
- Zene is designed mainly for use at the dining table and is designed for extended dining comfort.
