About Taboo 生分解性椅子は

人間の女性の骨盤からインスピレーションを得たこのタブーチェアは、伝統的な中国の版築建設のコンセプトに基づいた、特殊な有機分解性不燃粘土で作られており、トポロジー最適化アルゴリズムを使用して全体の構造を改善し、1000 回の耐用年数を保証します。バイオニック構造を維持しながら、Nm のダウンフォースを実現。チェアに使用されている素材は、現在の省エネと排出削減の要求に応えるために発明されたもので、適切な条件下で埋め立て地で有機肥料に分解できます。

Unique Properties
The chair is made of a special non-fire clay, which has a material strength comparable to ABS plastic. It can completely degrade to organic fertilizer within two years in an industrial landfill environment.
The structure of the chair was topologically optimized. After setting the parameters of force, support and pressure values, the redundant parts were eliminated.
After testing, this chair can withstand 100kg of longitudinal force.
Dimensions & Packaging
420mm x 260mm x 450mm

Clay, Biodegradation, Topology Optimization, Carbon Neutrality
Production Technology
In the design phase, we used the Finite Element Analysis plug-in in Rihno for topology optimization calculations to eliminate redundant parts.
After the prototype was printed using 3D printing, we disassembled it and turned out more than 70 plaster molds. Finally, the finished product was produced using the casting process.
Design Challenge
Additives and clay shrinkage adjustment
Skilled use of topology optimization
Development of robotic arm 3D clay printing technology
Generation of internal crystal structures
Research
Research on new materials and molding process
A biodegradable high-strength no-bake clay material is formulated under the requirement of low carbon emission. It avoids the high energy consumption of modern industrial production while achieving the sustainable use of resources. To achieve maximum material utilization with the support of topology optimization algorithms.
Through the experimentation in the field of furniture, we will mature the production process and eventually reinvent the world by entering the construction industry with the concept of raw earth construction.
Inspiration
The chair shape is inspired by the human female pelvis.
The technique of the chair material is inspired by the paper clay used in ceramics art, and the characteristics of the clay are changed by adding additions.
The material was developed in response to the current call for energy saving and emission reduction, with the intention of completing the 'construction' of the world from a new perspective, based on the traditional raw clay.
Project Duration
The project started in June 2020 in Nanjing and finished in February 2022 in Nanjing.
Operation Flow
The chair is made of raw clay, which can be found everywhere, and by adding additives to it, it can achieve great strength without being fired, and it is biodegradable, turning into organic fertilizer and recycling after being disposed of in landfills.
