Description:

The TOTEMENT / PAPER architectural bureau was founded in 2006. Founders: Levon Ayrapetov and Valeria Preobrazhenskaya. The bureau includes 10 architects, 3 design engineers, 2 interior designers, 1 designer-visualizer. The bureau is doing its own work on the development of architectural and constructive sections of design and working documentation. Develops interiors, carries out the function of the general designer. Specialization of the bureau: The main specificity of the work of the bureau is manifested in objects that require non-standard solutions, an individual approach and having an imagination component. This quality was manifested in the implementation of the Pavilion of the Russian Federation at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, as well as in the development of the «Alliance 1892» Wine and Brandy Distillery Museum & Warehouse in the Kaliningrad region. The team has experience in working with houses of varying complexity ranging from 1500 to 2500 square meters, the key to success of which is the accumulated rich experience of communication with customers and a highly professional approach.

Archetypes:Table and Storage system / TOTEMENT/PAPER

Posted in Design - Furniture by TOTEMENT/PAPER

Presented objects can be treated as interior archetypes that illustrate the design approach and vision of architecture of TOTEMENT \ PAPER architects.

In our case, these archetypes are ideal Table and Storage system. The basis of this approach was the combination of ways and methods found and tested in one of the architect`s public building concept design.

Obviously the result we have got could not be considered as a furniture or interior element exactly, neither functionally nor ergonomically.

But could only be treated as our outlook on them as if through architectural magnifying glass.

One of the major intentions in this work was to find a scale balance and revealing hidden tectonic mechanism within such proto-objects. In fact it is not a furniture, but quasi-furniture.

Using biological terms, both Table and Storage have a common genome (in our case - the principle/method), which describes their tectonic phenotype.

The Storage is a vertical combination of four identical modular units, each of them is rotated 180 degrees relative to the previous one in a horizontal plane. The application of this method in other similar concepts by TOTEMENT \ PAPER allows to "grow" the object not only in the vertical, but in all directions, filling all available space, using one three-dimensional pattern unit on the basis of simple geometric bodies.

Creating a quasi-object Table was used similar to a formal reception, the only difference is that the approach to the overall geometry and the combination of the elementary bodies of its components has become more artistic.

This table has its own facade and interior space.

Designed with the only one basic geometrical body, the Table has all the variety of functions that are most typical for its archetype..
