Silver A' Design Award Winner 2022
This audio description presents a spherical sculptural object approximately two feet in diameter, crafted entirely from wood segments fitted together to create a faceted geometric surface, positioned centrally in the frame against a soft neutral background in warm cream tones that provide minimal contrast, allowing the wood sculpture to command full attention, scanning the overall form from background to foreground, the backdrop appears as a smooth matte wall surface in pale biscuit color suggesting a gallery or studio setting, meeting a horizontal supporting surface or shelf constructed from darker wood visible along the bottom edge, upon this platform rests the primary sculptural object, a sphere composed of numerous individual wood pieces arranged in a complex geometric pattern, the sphere presents a large circular opening facing the viewer, this aperture occupies roughly one-third of the visible surface area and creates a dark shadowed interior cavity in deep charcoal black or near-black that contrasts dramatically with the warm wood tones of the exterior, moving across the spherical surface from left to right, the wood segments vary in size, shape, and color, creating a patchwork or mosaic effect, the leftmost visible segments display lighter tones ranging from pale straw yellow to soft golden honey suggesting ash or maple species, with prominent linear grain patterns visible as darker lines running diagonally across the wood surface, these grain lines feel like they would present subtle texture under fingertips, similar to stroking smooth wood with very fine raised grain ridges, progressing rightward and upward, segments transition through mid-range warm browns including caramel, toffee, and amber tones that feel like the warmth of sun-heated wood on skin, suggesting cherry or oak species, the upper right portion features darker segments in rich chocolate brown, coffee, and deep walnut tones that would feel smooth and cool like polished hardwood, each segment appears as an irregular polygon, mostly trapezoids and asymmetric quadrilaterals, fitted together with visible seam lines creating a network of angular divisions across the curved surface, the lighting comes from the upper left, creating a gentle gradient of illumination across the sphere with the left side receiving more direct light appearing slightly brighter and warmer, while the right side falls into softer shadow appearing slightly cooler and deeper in tone, within the large circular opening, the interior walls curve away into darkness with the left interior wall catching some reflected light creating a subtle graduated tone from medium gray near the opening edge to deep shadow in the recessed depths, at the upper rear of the interior cavity, a smaller circular opening perhaps three inches in diameter appears as a bright spot of cream-colored light, suggesting a secondary aperture or window that would allow filtered light and air into the interior chamber, the overall surface texture of the wood appears smooth and refined with a subtle satin finish that would feel pleasantly warm and sleek under the hand, like well-maintained furniture, the geometric precision of the cuts and the seamless joining of segments suggest fine craftsmanship and careful attention to detail, the scale feels intimate and domestic, appropriately sized to shelter a small animal while maintaining presence as a sculptural object within a room, the warm wood tones and organic material evoke the scent of timber, perhaps with subtle notes of wood finishing oils or natural beeswax, creating an impression of natural warmth, refined domesticity, and harmonious craft.
Saturn is a pet house with a modern style. Making full use of surplus materials of modern wood processing, this product reduces material waste and adheres to the maxim of sustainability. Moreover, it integrates elegance and utilization for a stunning view of modern home space. The design team is inspired by the surplus materials during the production of modern furniture, which is premium in quality but cannot be reused for its sizes. Thus, they refer to the football and assemble the wood into a regular round shape.
