The Kindof rod is a new material for making furniture forms and related accessories, but the range of models has gradually opened to basic and rudimentary architectural forms like the Stanza and the Arco. Thanks to a wealth of functional forms, Kindof oases are an architectural expression that transforms a space into an inclusive, disability-aware place for gathering and socializing. The values that characterize each Kindof model are accompanied by those specific to Kindof oases, and are tangible because they affect a circumscribed community, all the way down to the individual person. The oasis is thus more than the sum of the Kindof parts that make it up! While reinforced concrete (rebar + cement) is inimical to nature, only the Kindof rebar totally changes the relationship, making it one of collaboration and interpenetration: nature runs through Kindof forms as the steel becomes a solid support for its development. The Kindof oasis immersed in nature adds values that emerge from a rediscovery of the senses, stimulated by the colors, scents, and flavors of vegetation and the sounds of animals. People and nature are integrated in a completely harmonious way through understated products. The Kindof oasis is a response to needs, only some of which are listed, that have become compelling. Immersed in the green area of a building project, it mitigates environmental impact and encourages socialization. Indeed, its elastic seating structure creates a sense of surprise and amazement, and is always usable no matter what the season. So it offers an opportunity to socialize in the new community, and also a chance to relax among the colors, scents, and flavors of the selected vegetation that mutually enhances the oasis and nature. The Kindof oasis meets the needs of hospitality facilities with the softness and flexible comfort of customizable upholstered furniture, ready for use even during brief flashes of out-of- season good weather
OASIS FUNCTIONS
It’s an opportunity to create engaging places where people can both relax and exchange ideas, in companies with high ESG values. It’s an opportunity to turn public spaces into places for socializing, while relating to nature in a new, discreet, and respectful way. It’s a possible compendium that’s enriching because it’s always usable, in reclaiming various types of abandoned areas. Kindof primitivism is particularly valued in oases that welcome expressive forms of art, design, fashion, and even “gentle technology.” The Kindof oasis gives voice to a new material that respects nature, with a simplicity that creates constant amazement and surprise.
THE GEOMETRIES OF THE OASIS
We’ve identified eleven standard oases that give an idea of the oasis structure and thus help design spaces that become places. Six feature the Stanza, three the Arco, and the remaining two feature the oasis structure without using architectural forms. The oases have two distinguishing functional features: • Accessibility: disability awareness, with adequate spaces and easily usable seating. • They’re set up for artistic expression: specific oasis components are designed or particularly suitable for works of art. The Oases can be linked together with other oases of the same or different type, facilitating design planning in large areas. Colors can be the same, or else each oasis in the chain can have its own color identity.
