Alta Metallic Mota: Where Art Meets Energy

About the Project

Alta Metallic Mota is a groundbreaking armchair inspired by Isaac Newton’s transformative exploration of energy and motion. This bold design bridges the worlds of art and science, reflecting the dual forces of potential energy — stored and waiting — and kinetic energy, the force of movement. The armchair’s fluid form captures the perpetual rotation of the Earth, translating the invisible dynamics of energy into a tangible, sculptural masterpiece.

The creative journey began with Yury Goncharov’s meticulous hand-sculpted model, embodying his artistic vision. This model was digitally refined and brought to life with CNC technology, ensuring precision and harmony in every curve. Over an intense eight-week finishing process, production specialist Joel Hatherley infused craftsmanship into the chair, hand-polishing and perfecting every detail until Alta Metallic Mota emerged as a statement piece that transcends functionality.

What sets Alta Metallic Mota apart is its mesmerizing, mirror-like surface. This reflective finish amplifies the design’s energy-inspired concept, interacting with light and surroundings to create dynamic, ever-changing visual effects. Whether placed in a minimalist interior or a more eclectic environment, the chair’s versatile metallic sheen ensures a bold, timeless presence.

More than a piece of furniture, Alta Metallic Mota is an example of phygital art — a fusion of the physical and digital worlds. It challenges viewers to reimagine the familiar and consider the unseen forces shaping their lives.
