The Design

About Classic Escriptori

Classic és un escriptori dissenyat amb un nou estil xinès. El disseny adapta la forma de la tauleta d'extrems elevats del mobiliari tradicional xinès, on els dos extrems aixecats redueixen la possibilitat que els rotlles i altres objectes caiguin de la superfície. L'escriptori està fet de roure vermell, mentre que el ferro colat forma les connexions entre la superfície de la taula, el seient i les potes. Una prestatgeria inferior afegeix espai d'emmagatzematge. Les parts metàl·liques es donen forma mitjançant mecanització controlada per ordinador, i les seccions corbades s'acaben a mà. La superfície de l'escriptori utilitza un mètode tradicional xinès d'unió de plafons.

Unique Properties: In the design of this writing desk, combining the traditional Han dynasty writing desk with the Modern Metal Style, using red oak and the iron art, which not only has the classical charm of China, but also does not lose the modern sense of simplicity and succinctness, applying Chinese style to minimalism, is a bold attempt. With the charm of Chinese style furniture, meanwhile, it meets the needs of the stability of the furniture, traditional curved design adds a touch of dexterity.

Production Technology: The manufacturing process used modern CNC technology, solidworks software design, and CNC milling machine to achieve the form, some special forms are still made by traditional hand, the metal part and the solid wood part both have quite a part made by the artisan own hands, which embodies the spirit of ingenuity, and the importance of traditional craftsmanship. For modern life, it is still a valuable asset, some of the delicate structure still can not be replaced by machines.
Design Challenge: How to combine the new Chinese elements with the metal elements and the simple wind to show the functional comfort and the rationality of material use is the biggest challenge of this design. The second is the connection problem between the metal and the tabletop and legs as well as the chair face and legs.
Research: In the traditional Chinese style furniture, the QiaoAn image is applied to the whole set of desks and chairs, and this image is used in the design, first, in order to perfectly embody the Chinese style elements in this set of furniture, therefore, I chose this image which can represent Chinese style office furniture. The other is that users can have a good user experience. The furniture is a combination of Red Oak and cast iron design, it is the second innovation to the new Chinese furniture.
Inspiration: The overall design inspiration comes from the traditional Chinese furniture in the QiaoAn image. In ancient times, calligraphy and painting only mounted into a shaft, in order to prevent the painting falling, the initial image of the case, one is practical, the second is aesthetic. Using this image is to let the user have a good user experience while writing and painting to facilitate the placement of items as well as prevent items from falling.
Project Duration: The design project began in January 2019 in Shenyang, was completed in June 2019, and was exhibited in the art museum of Shenyang Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in June 2019.
Operation Flow: When you sit on a chair working, the desk and chair in contact with the body having a small inclined surface, so that you do not feel pressured. Painting scroll pile up on the desk, because of its two-end QiaoAn image, will reduce the chance of falling. The lower part of the writing desk has a shelf similar to the lnterlayer, which not only adds utility, but also adds beauty to the product.
