About Modern Chinese Cathaoir Uilleann
Seanré Nua-Shíneach is cathaoir uilleann atá ceaptha le suí uirthi agus atá oiriúnach freisin le taispeáint mar shaothar ealaíne. Faigheann an fhoirm ar iasacht ón gcathaoir uilleann thraidisiúnta Shíneach agus ó chathaoir Uimhir B33 de chuid Marcel Breuer. Múnlaíonn próiseáil CNC sraithadhmad agus gallchnó soladach ina imlíne líofa gan uaim, ag teacht in ionad na gcodanna uilleannacha agus na siúinéireachta a bhaineann leis an tógáil thraidisiúnta. Ríomhadh struchtúr agus neart an adhmaid chun meáchan an choirp a thacú. Rinneadh staidéar ar fhráma feadáin mhiotail ar dtús, ach roghnaíodh adhmad de bharr a chuma níos teochta.

- 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.
