The Design

About Emperor Taula

Emperor és una taula i la primera peça de la Sèrie de Mobiliari Imperial. El disseny segueix la metodologia Neo-Sino, que combina els principis tradicionals de disseny de la llarga història de la Xina amb pràctiques de disseny contemporànies d'altres cultures. Les parts de fusta estan fresades per control numèric (CNC) a partir de Jarrah sostenible, i les parts metàl·liques estan fresades per CNC a partir de llautó. Els detalls estan gravats amb làser. La taula mesura 861 mm per 994 mm per 672 mm. L'objectiu és incorporar la influència del disseny xinès al mobiliari contemporani d'una manera respectuosa.

Unique Properties: Emperor is the first of the Imperial Furniture Series, born of the novel Neo-Sino design methodology.

Tags: Emperor, table, luxury, chinese, neo-sino, dragon
Production Technology: CNC routed out of sustainable Jarah.

Design Challenge: Attempt to combine traditional Chinese design methodologies with contemporary design practices.
Research: Neo-Sino believes that modern high design is derived almost exclusively from western design influences such as the neo-classism and Bauhaus movements. In addition to this, western influence has instigated much of the socioeconomic development of Asia in the last few centuries, resulting in many Asian designs falling short as poor western imitations.
Inspiration: Emperor is born of the novel Neo-Sino design methodology, coined by the designer Tiger ChongSheng Guo. Neo-Sino aims to reintegrate true Chinese design influence into the societies of high design, whilst remaining respectful of contemporary design methodologies and values.
