About Greenery Suíochán

Is suíochán é Greenery a dhear le bheith comhcheangailte le plandaí beo nó saorga. Tá an struchtúr déanta de chlár adhmaid atá cairdiúil don chomhshaol agus a bhfuil dromchla seachtrach fíneáil adhmaid air. Tá pota plandaí de chruach dhosmálta feistithe ar thaobh amháin, agus tá na pillíní suíocháin clúdaithe le leathar le cúr polúiréatáin istigh. Tá an suíochán 1600 mm ar leithead, 440 mm ar doimhneacht agus 430 mm ar airde. Cuirtear áit shuíocháin ar fáil do bheirt nó triúr duine, le spás breise d'earraí beaga. Cuireann an fhoirm pailliún gáirdín ársa Síneach i gcuimhne duit, agus is é an aidhm ná gné nádúrtha shocair a thabhairt isteach i spásanna cónaithe agus poiblí.

Unique Properties: Greenery Bench is a furniture piece designed to integrate with different plants, its concept originated from the eastern tea culture, with a hint of the ancient Chinese garden where you can see wood pavilion surrounded by water and greenery. The initial idea of designing this piece is to create an organic combination of furniture and plants in response to our innate tendency to seek a connection to nature, thus the design of the bench makes it can be placed in both residential space and public space.

Production Technology: Greenery Bench uses the environment-friendly wood board as its structure material. With wood veneer as its outer material. The planter on the side is made of stainless steel, and leather seat cushions with polyurethane foam inside.
Design Challenge: One of the main challenges in the design process was making a truthful and natural combination of Furniture and Plants, this is why the design team looked into tea culture as it has a vivid symbolic identity that immediately brings people to somewhere tranquil and full of nature, where time slows down and nobody is in a hurry. By merging such image into the design, the combination of the plant and the bench seems logical and understandable, thus making the Greenery Bench not only provide a physical space for people to sit and enjoy their time, but also a spiritual garden that bends time where the present is the most important thing in life.
Research: Many studies have shown that most of us spend 90% of our time indoors, but human have a strong affinity towards nature, a environment devoid of nature would create a mismatch with the potential threat to health and quality of life. It is clear that people who live or work in space with more natural element has significantly lower anxiety level and higher productivity, thus making furniture that integrates plant would help create a more comfortable space for our target audiences.
Inspiration: With the impact of Covid, the fragile connection between us and nature suffered another critical hit. The designer thinks it’s important to adapt the biophilic design into furniture making as well.
Inspired by the scenic atmosphere of Eastern tea culture, the designer wanted to bring its tranquility with a furniture piece. The design comes from ancient Chinese architecture, it looks like part of an old garden pavilion, yet the minimal silhouette and metal planter provided it with contemporary characteristics.
Project Duration: The project started in Shenzhen in April of 2022 and was completed in Shenzhen in June of 2022.
Operation Flow: The product primarily serves as a normal bench with seating and extra space for item placement. It is designed ideally for 2 and 3 persons at most. The user can switch the types of plants according to their personal taste and even place the faux plants inside the metal planter.
