TRIC

Project Awards: 2nd Place, Siemens' contest Home Sweet Home

Siemens’ Home Sweet Home Design Contest for Blackcork, Lisbon Design Show

In a refined and straightforward form, TRIC is a type of stool composed of two pieces. The introduction of stainless steel intends to highlight the black cork and create a contrast of texture between the organic and the industrial. This contrast is also felt at the sensory level, ranging between hot and cold, rough and soft.

The seat base has emerged from a triangular shape, ensuring that the design remains rational and simple. 

The metal piece, which visually connects the cork, serves three purposes: it functions as a footrest, backrest, and as handle, which makes it easier to move the stool. Its shape is designed around the cork block, resulting in a harmonious relationship between the two materials.

This project achieved 2nd place in the Siemens contest Home Sweet Home.
