About Mountains 書き物机
「Mountains（山々）」は、ニレ材で製作された書き物机と椅子のセットである。その形は、中国の伝統家具である翹頭案（きょうとうあん／両端が反り上がった甲板をもつ挟頭榫式の机）に着想を得ている。天板の両端が立ち上がっていることで、書や絵を描く際に物が落ちるのを防ぐ。前縁にはわずかな傾斜が設けられ、無理のない作業姿勢を支える。机の下部には収納用の小箱が配されている。椅子の湾曲した背もたれは中国山水画に描かれる山の稜線を思わせ、座面にはクッションが添えられている。天板は手作業で剥ぎ合わせ、その他の部材はコンピューター制御のフライス加工によって成形されている。

For modern life, it is still a valuable asset, some of the delicate structure still can not be replaced by machines.
- Design Challenge
- Combining the new Chinese elements with the theme of Chinese painting and the simple style to show the comfortable function and the rationality of the use of elements is the biggest challenge in this design.
- Research
- The theme of Chinese painting is applied to the design of this set of furniture, and the image of "warped" in traditional Chinese furniture and the element of "Shan Xing" in landscape painting are applied to the whole set of books, desks and chairs. The ergonomic design of calligraphy plans is optimized so that users can have a positive user experience when using them. The whole set of furniture is designed with elm wood, which is the second innovation of new Chinese-style furniture.
- Inspiration
- The design inspiration comes from the recessed-leg table with everted flanges in traditional Chinese furniture. It is convenient to place items and prevent items from falling during office or writing and painting, which is practical and beautiful. Cushions are added to the seat to make it more comfortable to use. The mountain element in traditional landscape painting is adopted in the design of the back plate of the seat, giving users a peaceful and elegant spiritual feeling.
- Project Duration
- The design had started in Shenyang in March 2021, completed in Shenyang in June 2021, and displayed in the museum of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang in June in 2021.
- Operation Flow
- When a person sits on the seat to work, the front end of the desk has a small slope, which conforms to ergonomics during work and will not feel pressed. Because the two ends of the desk are "warped". When working or writing and painting, it will reduce the chance of items falling, which is practical and beautiful. A compartment is designed under the bookcase, which not only adds practicality but also increases the beauty of the product.
