The Design
About Orange Link 子供用家具
Orange Linkは、子供のためにデザインされた家具シリーズです。無垢のアッシュ材とオレンジ色のエンジニアリングプラスチック製ジョイントを組み合わせています。木部はCNC加工により切削し、ワックスオイルで仕上げ、オレンジ色のノードは射出成形によって製作されています。丸みを帯びたプラスチック製ジョイントが木部の接合部を包み込むことで、鋭いエッジをなくし、手に触れる感覚を導きます。かみ合う構造のジョイントは組み立てを簡素化し、効率的な生産にも寄与します。寸法は子供の手の届く範囲と目線に合わせており、読書、工作、整理整頓をサポートします。色彩のコントラストが、自然の温かみと工業的な精密さを結びつけています。

- Production Technology
- Crafted from ash wood and engineering plastics. Wood is CNC-cut and wax-oiled. Orange nodes use injection molding for strength and smoothness. Plastic interlocking joints simplify assembly and ensure high production efficiency.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge lies in achieving a seamless interlocking of natural wood and modern plastics. It requires balancing structural stability with rounded safety protection. The design uses the Orange-Link system to unify industrial standardization with natural warmth, ensuring functionality and safety while creating a high-impact visual aesthetic.
- Research
- This design explores the cross-application of solid wood and engineering plastics in children's furniture. Focusing on the Orange-Link system, it unifies structural connection with rounded protection. By using color contrast and tactile guidance, it breaks traditional wood constraints to create a logical, vibrant, and interactive growth environment for children.
- Inspiration
- The forms are inspired by the act of fastening buttons. Orange plastic parts serve as Orange-Links, locking wooden structures together like vibrant buttons. This core semantic defines the Orange-Link series, using simplified visual language to express logical material connections. Structurally, it merges wood stability with plastic flexibility, creating a modern aesthetic that balances structural strength with a playful, childlike spirit.
- 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
- Ideal for children learning and playing. Rounded Orange-Link joints guide natural touch and interaction, providing skin-friendly, safe support for reading, crafting, or organizing. The blend of warm ash wood and vibrant orange stimulates creativity and enhances the interactive growth experience within the space.
