About Obsidian Wing Cathaoir Suí
Is cathaoir suí í Obsidian Wing atá deartha do thithe comhaimseartha, spásanna ealaíne agus oifigí boutique. Tá an chathaoir spreagtha ag cruth sciatháin éan, ag aistriú struchtúr cnámh an sciatháin agus línte teannais isteach i dtroscán. Timpeallaíonn cúl-taca ar chruth sciatháin an duine atá ina shuí agus tugann sé mothú dídine agus tacaíochta. Úsáidtear plaisteach ardfheidhmíochta mar bhunábhar, múnlaithe trí phriontáil 3T agus meaisíniú beacht rialaithe ag ríomhaire. Tá bailchríoch dhubh neamhlonrach ar an dromchla le línte airgid miotail ionleagtha. Tomhaiseann Obsidian Wing 550 faoi 650 faoi 800 milliméadar.

- Production Technology
- Using high performance plastic as the base material, it is formed through an integrated process of 3D printing and precision CNC machining, accurately achieving complex surfaces and load bearing structures. The surface is coated with a matte finish and embedded with metal silver wires, balancing lightweight characteristics with excellent load bearing performance.
- Design Challenge
- The core concept of the design is to transform the imagery of wings providing protection and extension into the form of a chair. The main challenge lies in balancing the lightness of the wing like structure with its load bearing capacity, achieving a fusion of metallic silver lines and matte black textures.
- Research
- Seated in the chair feels like growing obsidian wings, freezing a moment of burgeoning power into static form. Its enveloping wing like structure creates psychological shelter, turning sitting into a posture of gathering momentum. Exploring bionic integration with modern furniture, it balances aesthetics and ergonomics, presenting a design both powerful and poetic.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the imagery of sitting as if sprouting black wings, the chair draws on the fluid structure of avian wing bones, mechanical distribution of wing spars, and tension lines of tendons, translating the grace and power of nature into furniture language. It offers a sense of being guarded and supported, symbolizing rest, release, and spiritual freedom from daily routine.
- Project Duration
- The design had started in Shenyang in January 2025, completed in Shenyang in June 2025, and displayed in the museum of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang in June in 2025.
- Operation Flow
- Suitable for modern home living rooms, artistic studies, luxury model rooms, boutique hotel lounges, and creative office spaces. It can serve as a focal art piece for the space, combining practical functionality with visual appeal, and complements a variety of design styles such as luxury, and avant garde.
