About Emperor Mahaia

Emperor mahai bat da, eta Imperial Furniture bilduma seriearen lehen pieza. Diseinuak Neo-Sino metodologiari jarraitzen dio, Txinaren historia luzeko diseinu-printzipio tradizionalak beste kultura batzuetako diseinu-praktika garaikideekin uztartzen dituena. Zati egurrezkoak Jarrah iturri iraunkorreko egurrean CNC bidez landuta daude, eta metalezko zatiak letoizko materialean CNC bidez fresatuta. Xehetasunak laser bidez grabatuta daude. Mahaiak 861 mm x 994 mm x 672 mm ditu. Helburua da txinatar diseinuaren eragina modu errespetuzko batean gaur egungo altzarigintzara ekartzea.

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

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.
