Furniture inspired by the Hijazi Saudi heritage
The design of the bright chair is deeply inspired by the timeless beauty of mashrabiyas, those intricate geometric patterns found in traditional Islamic art. These patterns are characterized by their repetition, symmetry, and mathematical precision, making them a foundation that combines beauty and strength.
The result is a design that harmoniously blends aesthetics and function, allowing for the production of a chair that is lightweight, structurally robust, and elegant at the same time – a true reflection of traditional Islamic architecture.
The development of the chair came as a result of a visit to the historic country, where the amazing architecture of the mashrabiyas left a lasting impression.
This chair embodies the elegance and sophistication of traditional styles, while providing the durability and comfort needed for modern living. Fused's Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology is revolutionizing the furniture industry by offering unprecedented customization, design flexibility, and sustainability.
Fuseed is working to revive this innovative chair, combining the geometric shapes of mashrabiyas with the aesthetics of repeated Islamic design.
Bright: Where heritage meets modernity
The chair is named "Mashreqa," a combination of "mashrabiya" (the intricate latticework of Islamic design) and "riqqa," meaning lightness or elegance. This name reflects the inspiration drawn from traditional patterns, while also symbolizing the chair's light and elegant form. Mashreqa represents a blend of heritage and modernity, embodying the essence of balance, beauty, and durability in design.
Transforming furniture design with 3D printing: beauty and function
Through additive manufacturing technology, Fuzzed leverages the advanced advantages of digital manufacturing, providing unique designs and an iterative production process that promotes both comprehensive customization and on-demand manufacturing.
The Fused team says:
"We manufacture everything to order. Our customers have the ability to customize their products or order from a pre-designed catalog, eliminating the need for warehousing and reducing unnecessary production."
This flexibility allows Fuzzed to expand beyond a single design, creating complete product lines based on one core concept. The Bright Chair is an example of this innovative approach – it's not just a practical piece of furniture for sitting, but can also serve as a bookcase, fostering a love of reading.
