Sialk Multi Patterns Wood Flooring

Silver A' Design Award Winner 2025

Drawing upon ancient traditions of geometric floor design that span cultures and millennia, Sahar Bakhtiari Rad's Sialk Multi Patterns Wood Flooring emerges as a remarkable synthesis of heritage craft sensibility and contemporary formal innovation, reimagining the venerable herringbone pattern through the introduction of flowing, wave-like undulations that transform utilitarian building material into architectural sculpture. The work appears to engage with the rich legacy of decorative woodworking while proposing a distinctly twenty-first century intervention, one that harnesses advanced fabrication technologies to achieve curvilinear geometries that would have proven extraordinarily challenging through traditional means alone. Technical accomplishment manifests in the precision joinery required to maintain continuous wave profiles across multiple individual planks, each board cut to unique specifications yet assembled into seamless visual coherence. The chromatic warmth of the selected hardwood, suggesting walnut or a similarly figured species, provides organic counterpoint to the mathematical precision of the overall composition, celebrating the inherent beauty of natural material variation within a rigorously conceived geometric framework. Thematically, the work seems to meditate upon the relationship between natural form and human ordering, as the wave motif simultaneously references organic phenomena such as water movement, wind-shaped sand, or topographic contour while remaining clearly the product of deliberate design intelligence. The title's reference to Sialk evokes associations with ancient heritage and archaeological layering, perhaps suggesting how contemporary design might build upon accumulated cultural knowledge while proposing new formal possibilities. One might observe how the irregular outer silhouette, with its dramatic peaks and inverted valleys, liberates flooring from its conventional rectangular confinement, proposing instead that architectural surfaces might respond to and shape spatial experience in more dynamic ways. Viewers are invited to consider how the materials beneath their feet might participate more actively in the aesthetic and experiential qualities of inhabited space, transforming the ground plane from neutral backdrop into expressive design element.

Highlighting the softness and freedom by free forms and lines in a natural context in praise of culture and tradition of ancient. This is the philosophy of this design. Changing the previous mentality to the new vision, imagination and re-thinking on the patterns of wood floors to inter the modern life style. Sialk is a unique eco-friendly, water proof wood flooring which is combines with a completed shape and two pieces of this figure formed along each other and specialized to give the chance to anyone to have four choices for pattern the floors.
