About Mountains Skrivebord
Bogtekst: Mountains er et skrivebord- og stolesæt fremstillet af elmetræ. Formen er inspireret af det traditionelle kinesiske bord med forsænkede ben og udadbøjede flanger. De opløftede ender af bordpladen mindsker risikoen for, at genstande falder ned under skrivning eller maling. Forkanten har en let hældning, der understøtter en behagelig arbejdsstilling. Under bordet er der placeret et opbevaringsrum. Stolens buede ryg minder om bjergformerne i kinesisk landskabsmaleri, og der er tilføjet en hyndepolstring på sædet. Bordpladen er håndsamlet, mens de øvrige dele er formet ved computerstyret fræsning.

- 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
- Combining the new Chinese elements with the theme of Chinese painting and the simple style to show the comfortable function and the rationality of the use of elements is the biggest challenge in this design.
- Research
- The theme of Chinese painting is applied to the design of this set of furniture, and the image of "warped" in traditional Chinese furniture and the element of "Shan Xing" in landscape painting are applied to the whole set of books, desks and chairs. The ergonomic design of calligraphy plans is optimized so that users can have a positive user experience when using them. The whole set of furniture is designed with elm wood, which is the second innovation of new Chinese-style furniture.
- Inspiration
- The design inspiration comes from the recessed-leg table with everted flanges in traditional Chinese furniture. It is convenient to place items and prevent items from falling during office or writing and painting, which is practical and beautiful. Cushions are added to the seat to make it more comfortable to use. The mountain element in traditional landscape painting is adopted in the design of the back plate of the seat, giving users a peaceful and elegant spiritual feeling.
- Project Duration
- The design had started in Shenyang in March 2021, completed in Shenyang in June 2021, and displayed in the museum of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang in June in 2021.
- Operation Flow
- When a person sits on the seat to work, the front end of the desk has a small slope, which conforms to ergonomics during work and will not feel pressed. Because the two ends of the desk are "warped". When working or writing and painting, it will reduce the chance of items falling, which is practical and beautiful. A compartment is designed under the bookcase, which not only adds practicality but also increases the beauty of the product.
