The Design
About Obsidian Wing Sitkamerstoel
Obsidian Wing is 'n sitkamerstoel wat ontwerp is vir kontemporêre huise, kunsruimtes en boetiekkantore. Die stoel is geïnspireer deur die vorm van voëlvlerke, en vertaal die beenstruktuur en spanningslyne van vlerke na meubels. 'n Vlerkvormige rugleuning vou om die sittende persoon en gee 'n gevoel van skuiling en ondersteuning. Hoëprestasie-plastiek word as basismateriaal gebruik, gevorm deur 3D-drukwerk en presiese rekenaarbeheerde masjinering. Die oppervlak het 'n mat swart afwerking met ingelegde silwer metaallyne. Obsidian Wing meet 550 by 650 by 800 millimeter.

- Production Technology
- Using high performance plastic as the base material, it is formed through an integrated process of 3D printing and precision CNC machining, accurately achieving complex surfaces and load bearing structures. The surface is coated with a matte finish and embedded with metal silver wires, balancing lightweight characteristics with excellent load bearing performance.
- Design Challenge
- The core concept of the design is to transform the imagery of wings providing protection and extension into the form of a chair. The main challenge lies in balancing the lightness of the wing like structure with its load bearing capacity, achieving a fusion of metallic silver lines and matte black textures.
- Research
- Seated in the chair feels like growing obsidian wings, freezing a moment of burgeoning power into static form. Its enveloping wing like structure creates psychological shelter, turning sitting into a posture of gathering momentum. Exploring bionic integration with modern furniture, it balances aesthetics and ergonomics, presenting a design both powerful and poetic.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the imagery of sitting as if sprouting black wings, the chair draws on the fluid structure of avian wing bones, mechanical distribution of wing spars, and tension lines of tendons, translating the grace and power of nature into furniture language. It offers a sense of being guarded and supported, symbolizing rest, release, and spiritual freedom from daily routine.
- Project Duration
- The design had started in Shenyang in January 2025, completed in Shenyang in June 2025, and displayed in the museum of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang in June in 2025.
- Operation Flow
