About Crested Ibis Koleksyon Mèb

Crested Ibis se yon koleksyon mèb ki enspire pa ibis krete a, yon zwazo ki an danje disparisyon. Koleksyon an gen ladan yon biwo, yon etajè ak yon paravan divizyon. Fòm yo swiv zèl, kou, janm ak plim zwazo a. Chak pyès enprime an 3D ak yon konpozit asid polilaktik ki biodegradab, avèk teknik modelaj pa depo fizyone. Estrikti prensipal yo fòme an yon sèl moso pou plis estabilite. Pati ki pi gwo yo enprime separeman epi yo konekte ak jwenti motèz ak tenon kache, kidonk asanblaj la pa bezwen okenn zouti. Koleksyon an sipòte konsyantizasyon sou biodivèsite ak pwodiksyon dirab.

Production Technology: The Crested Ibis Bionic Furniture Series is 3D printed with single color Polylactic Acid composite. Formaldehyde free and biodegradable, it has high load bearing strength, aligning with sustainable design. Main structures use one piece molding to restore bionic forms and ensure stability. Oversized parts adopt split printing with hidden mortise and tenon assembly, reaching over ninety five percent material utilization and low carbon emission.
Design Challenge: The core challenge of this study lies in simultaneously balancing and integrating the furniture practical functions, structural mechanical stability, 3D printing process feasibility, and sustainable environmental protection concepts on the basis of organic form bionic design that accurately restores the biological characteristics of the crested ibis.
Research: This study designs a crested ibis inspired bionic furniture series. It adopts industrial Fused Deposition Modeling 3D printing and Polylactic Acid material, with one piece molding for low carbon production without molds. The series combines organic aesthetics, practical functions, biodiversity conservation and sustainable design, providing a reference for furniture innovation.
Inspiration: This Crested Ibis Bionic Furniture Series draws core inspiration from the elegant form and biological structure of the endangered crested ibis. Its desk, shelving units, and screen partition mimic the bird's wing, neck, legs, and feather traits, integrating natural grace with lightweight strength, stable load-bearing, and functional daily design.
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: Designed for home study rooms and living rooms, this furniture series also adapts to diverse spaces like open work areas and entryways. The entire collection is easy to install without tools，just place the main structure in position for immediate use. The modular components can be quickly assembled by hand using hidden mortise and tenon joints.
