About Seven 풍경은
Seven은 Tensegrity 구조를 활용한 새로운 구조의 윈드 차임입니다. 최근 몇 년간 불안정한 사회 환경 속에서 사람들은 안정과 불안 사이를 끊임없이 오가고 있습니다. 텐세그리티 구조는 현재 사회를 구현하는 구조이다. 떠 있는 것처럼 보이지만, 바람 등의 외부 힘으로 인해 평형을 유지하기 위해 흔들리게 됩니다. 이 흔들림을 소리로 변환하여 공간에 울려 퍼지며 일상에 힐링과 색채를 더해줍니다.

In the unstable social climate of recent years, people are constantly moving between stability and anxiety.
The tensegrity structure is the structure that embodies current society.
it appears to be floating and stable, but external forces such as wind cause it to sway in order to maintain equilibrium.
By converting this swaying into sound, it resonates through space and adds healing and color to daily life. - Dimensions & Packaging

- Production Technology
- All parts of "Seven" are made of brass, and they are exquisitely balanced.
To maintain the balance, a high level of precision was required.
Therefore, the product was manufactured in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, which is famous for its metalworking.
One of the characteristics of Takaoka's manufacturing is the division of labor.
The production of this product was made possible by the concentration of the technical capabilities of specialists in various fields
such as casting, bending, and welding, including SANOMASA factory, which took overall command of the production this time. - Design Challenge
- One is the study that led to this modeling.
The other is that this wind chime stands on its own with a very delicate balance, so precise technical skill was required for every component. - Research
- First, we looked at everyday situations and clarified concepts from daily observations.
Next, we researched the tensegrity structure that embodied this concept and deepened our understanding through repeated experiments.
Then, he examined hundreds of times the shape of the form that would allow it to function as a wind chime.
Finally, we searched for a company that could accurately manufacture the design, deepened close communication, and completed the project over time. - Inspiration
- This project started as part of an independent project under the theme of "Between stability and anxiety. In the unstable social
climate of recent years, people and society are constantly moving between stability and anxiety.
I believe that the tensegrity structure is a structure that hovers between stability and anxiety, embodying contemporary society, and that there is something. - Project Duration
- The project started in September 2021 and completed in August 2022.
- Operation Flow
- Although the tensegrity structure makes it appear to be stable while floating, external forces such as wind cause it to sway in order to maintain equilibrium.
By converting this swaying into sound, the sound resonates through the space and adds healing and color to daily life. - Image Credits
