About Colored Finch 의자
컬러드 핀치(Colored Finch)는 되새의 형태에서 영감을 받은 의자이다. 등받이는 정면에서는 직선으로 보이지만 측면에서는 곡선을 이루어 형태와 편안함을 동시에 구현한다. 등받이와 좌판은 수작업으로 제작한 다층 목재로 만들어졌으며, 이중 곡면 성형 목재의 형태를 취한다. 다리는 금속 파이프에 수작업 직물을 여러 겹 감아 마감했다. 다리에 재생 불가능한 소재의 사용을 최소화하여 환경에 대한 배려를 실천했다. 열여섯 개의 프로토타입이 제작되었고, 테스트용 더미를 활용해 착석 자세를 연구하고 최종 치수를 확정했다. 의자의 크기는 폭 490mm, 깊이 550mm, 높이 810mm이다.

- Production Technology
- To make the chair both stylish and comfortable, the designer made the backrest look straight upfront and curved on the side. Given these considerations, the designer asked the factory to use the double-layer curved wood according to the Rhino model of product. To make entire chair thin and light, the production team needed to develop the suitable metal parts so to manufacture the finished product.
- Design Challenge
- We had changed some suppliers before finding the ideal manufacture to impeccably embody the furniture. It required a challenging craftmanship to complete Colored Finch Chair, which demanded extraordinary expertise for manufacturing. During the process, the brand owner and the designer endured diverse pressures. They had to confirmed repeatedly with the cooperative manufacture. It was the hardship of creation.
- Research
- Colored Finch Chair is a piece of composite furniture whose backrest and chair seat were made of the handmade multi-layer woods. The chair legs were made of metal tubes uniformly laminated by handmade fabrics. The minimized usage of non-renewable materials for chair legs exemplifies the creation based on environmental protection.
- Inspiration
- The design idea of Colored Finch Chair was inspired from the fairy in nature—finches.
The bird observes all things in nature in trees. It looks proud and free, and its splendid wings covering the round body figuratively exemplify the fairy painting on the green canvas of nature.
The designer thoroughly observing the postures of bird discovered the most general bird’s shapes artistically converted into the design of furniture, thus adding a touch of spiritual atmosphere of nature in the space. - Project Duration
- Proposal confirmation in May 2020.
Market launch in October 2020. - Operation Flow
- There were 16 prototypes of Colored Finch Chair, which means that the model of Colored Finch Chair was modified for 16 times in the phase of modeling. The scenarios were simulated by applying the medical dummy to the different usages of chair so to determine the size of chair and the final project. After finalizing the shape of chair, the designer generated the rendering. In this phase, the product in rendering was simulated so to discover the best materials, and its scale was examined in the final run.
