Basilisa Three seater by Ito Kish

Home > Winners > #29524




DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Basilisa

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Three seater

INSPIRATION:
When I was young I remembered how my grandmother Basilisa can easily repair a dining chair with Solihiya weave. I watched her amazed at how she can create the pattern. I also realized that this weaving is very Filipino and part of our culture which must be appreciated by everyone.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Basilisa shows the solihiya using rattan - an intricate weave used as a support and as an addition to its aesthetic drama. Each weave showcases a different pattern, but unites through the exquisite play of light, pattern and shadow. It is this chiaroscuro which makes the Basilisa a Filipino beauty to behold.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
-

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
Conceptualization started March 2012. Prototyping began in October 2012 and it was exhibited in Manila FAME March 2013.

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Furniture Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
All the materials used in the Basilisa lounge have been sourced from sustainable materials and means of production: Kiln dried Mahogany is a fast growing hardwood, and both Mahogany and the rattan are farmed and sourced locally in the Philippines. Weaving was done by artisans in small neighborhoods giving them livelihood.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
1752.6 mm x 609.6 mm x 812.8 mm

TAGS:
Lounge, rattan, weaving, mahogany, Filipino, Asian

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The weave patterns were very important. We looked at different patterns even at fabrics that were familiar to some tribes and even baskets that can be found in the Philippines.

CHALLENGE:
Identifying the weaves that can work together and making sure we find someone who can do the solihiya or weaves was a challenge. The solihiya is part of our everyday life.
