ATTENTION TO DETAIL

“God is in details”

Attention to detail has always been the fundamental principle behind any design. Details are the one that shapes the idea of a design. From Mies van der, Arthur Erickson's details are expression, Peter Zumberck's details as an inheriting part of the design, Tado Ando's detail idea of light, Carlo Scarpa's junctions, and the list goes on. . Every designer's eye for detail is what makes them who they are, help to create their signature

“The details are details. They make the product. The connections, the connections, the connections. It will in the end be these details that give the product its life.” - Charles Eames notice the ordinary; preserve the ephemeral; don’t delegate understanding; These back-to-basics mantras fed into everything Charles Eames did, which is why their work always felt so fresh and different, not only user-friendly but also easy on the eye. Nehal Bhatt’s STUDIO WORKS works follow the same.

In all her works function of the product supersedes all other factors next comes the materiality and then the form. All her furniture puts the comfort of the user as the main criteria the shape of the design and the material satisfies this. In works of seating from the swing sofa and the bar stool, all are designed and experimented with different forms and materials but keeping comfort as the key factor. Her collection of swings with different materials from cane, and wood to weave ropes shows her exploration of connection. Her bar stool design designed with wood metal and the rope show her craftsmanship and attention to detail. The metal used as the seating support which emerges from the wooden legs makes the whole furniture look light. To it, the yellow-colored thread weaved is a juxtaposition with the wood and metal. The contrast adds to the pop of color in the space. The wood legs and the backrest of the stool with the rounded edges and smooth finishing highlight and bring out the texture of the wood and adds to the detail. The junction between the metal and wood is designed in a way that the visual height of the stool is balanced and it looks lighter.

The other interesting piece was her jigsaw table. A free-standing coffee table made with wood and metal. the idea of the jigsaw puzzle is visualized in the form of each puzzle piece connecting one another in the arrangement but placed in different levels the connection points become the legs of the furniture pieces which visually paper detached to the furniture connected to it through metal plates the legs of the tables is turned wood complimenting with the other part so the tables where wood takes the smooth and softer geometry highlighting the metal attachments. The groove detail in the table defines the idea of the jigsaw puzzle.

In all her works he had experimented with material by highlighting its nature, with junctions and connections creating the expression of her idea altogether making her product functional and comforting to the user and the context.
