The Design

About Taiwan Imagery Silla

Taiwan Imagery es una silla inspirada en la cultura tradicional taiwanesa. El diseño combina la bolsa KA-TSI, un bolso tejido de uso común en Taiwán, con la silla Tai-Shi, un sillón clásico chino de madera empleado en los primeros hogares taiwaneses. El junco y el aluminio son los materiales principales. La silla mide 500 por 980 por 710 milímetros. El respaldo, el asiento y las patas conforman tres piezas independientes unidas con tornillos, de modo que el transporte resulta compacto y la fabricación más sencilla. Un molde controla las formas curvas y reduce los errores de producción.

Tags
Culture,Traditional,KA-TSI bag,Tai-Shi Chair
Production Technology
bulrush (phôo tsháu)/Aluminum
Design Challenge
The special curvature makes it easy to produce errors, so after many experiments we chose to use a mold to control its shape.
Research
The earliest KA-TSI bags were knitted with bulrush (phôo tsháu).
KA-TSI Chair is taken from Tai-Shi Chair, the Chinese wooden fauteuil. Named after the official title, the Tai-Shi Chair is a classical Chinese furniture used by the Taiwanese earlier.
Inspiration
We hope to bring the traditional culture of Taiwan into this design, so that the tradition can be reproduced by design.
Project Duration
The project starts in Turin in October 2022 and ends in Taiwan in December 2022.
Operation Flow
The whole chair is divided into three parts, the back, cushion and legs, and assembled with screws, so that it will not take up space when transporting and can be more easily processed and manufactured.
