Lizoňová, Denisa, 1973- Exploring the application of nature-inspired geometric principles when designing furniture and interior equipment / Denisa Lizoňová, Zuzana Tončíková. -- Obr. -- Lit. - Since ancient time the nature has been the essence of human existence, and people were trying to look forinspiration and advice for solving various problems in the nature. Most natural objects contain basic geometric principles creating a sort of systematic character and order in them. Natural structures and shapes represent a perfect design and architectural suggestions refined over the course of 3.8 billion of years of evolution. These unique and functional shape and space solutions create an ingenious system providing, through detailed study and transformation, a creative way of looking for inspiration for making innovative products with high added value in the form of nature being the mentor. The aim of the paper is to show how the biomimicry principles can be used and applied for the creation of new objects. Theoretical basis, the methodology and outputs of the workshops “Discovering Geometric Principles in the Nature as the Source of Inspiration” organized under the guidance of the authors for the students of the study program Design at the Technical University in Zvolen within the selective course of Geometric Compositionis presented in the paper. The aim of the workshop was to apply the geometric principles from the selected natural shapes into the design of a unique solitaire.
