About Modern Chinese Cadair Freichiau
Cadair freichiau yw Modern Chinese, wedi'i bwriadu ar gyfer eistedd ac sydd hefyd yn addas i'w harddangos fel darn celf. Mae'r ffurf yn benthyca oddi wrth y gadair freichiau Tsieineaidd draddodiadol ac oddi wrth gadair Rhif B33 Marcel Breuer. Mae proses CNC yn siapio pren haenog a phren cnau Ffrengig solet yn amlinelliad llyfn a di-dor, gan gymryd lle rhannau onglog a chymalau saernïaeth adeiladwaith traddodiadol. Cyfrifwyd strwythur a chryfder y pren i gynnal pwysau'r corff. Astudiwyd fframwaith o diwbiau metel yn gyntaf, ond dewiswyd pren am ei olwg gynhesach.

- The most challenging part of this chair concept is to design proper structure and calculate wood strength enable to support people's weight. The original idea was to use metal tube and bending technique to create the chair structure, but the finish appearance looks too cold and contemporary, therefore, the material was switched from metal back to wood.
- Research
- For this project the idea/design was just pop into my head when I was reading a book called "Encyclopedia of China Traditional Furniture Making and Appreciation" Therefore, it is difficult to position this chair as a design piece or an art work.
- Inspiration
- Modern Chinese Armchair was inspired by traditional Chinese armchair and Marcel Breuer's No. B33 chair design. The original motive was not to simplified a traditional Chinese armchair into a modern looking one, but to borrowed the design from the past and infused with present technology and material to expand a new style of Chinese furniture.
- Project Duration
- The project started in March 2021 in Taipei, Taiwan and minor changes are undergoing
- Operation Flow
- Modern Chinese Armchair is mainly for sitting purpose but can also be viewed as piece of art work.
