About Knotted KURSî

Knotted mobîlyayekî gelemperî ye ku wekî nîşteceyek ji bo hundir û derveyî hatiye sêwirandin. Şêwe wekî ribekê bi hev ve girêdراوe da ku têkilî û gerdûnbûnê nîşan bide. Boriyên telê yên avêtî bi destan xwar kirine, bi bendên kabloyî hatine girêdan û li ser lingên polayî yên statîk hatine sabît kirin. Avahiya temam berz û aram e, û temam bi reşê matî yekgirtî hatiye xemilandin. Rûyê borî wêneyeke nerm dide û şêwe rê li ber çend rewşên rûniştinê vedike. Knotted ramana yekbûna nifşan nîşan dide, ku têde jiyanên cuda dibin yek.

Unique Properties: The project started with a focus on a life where everyone can coexist, a sustainable environment and discarded materials. A form tied together like a ribbon was expressed, and the bench tied to cable ties and stain pipes by using waste wire ELP pipe that is no longer used can function as public furniture and serve as recycled furniture. It is useful in indoor and outdoor spaces where everyone gathers together, and has a shape that induces various postures.
Dimensions & Packaging: 2460mm x 630mm x 500mm

Production Technology: Materials used were wire ELP conduit, cable ties, and stainless pipe. Structural stained steel pipes were fabricated as the legs of the bench. Then, the wire help pipe was tied with cable ties and tied back to the stainless steel pipe. It is a solid and stable structure. The complex structure looks neat and is unified in matte black
Design Challenge: When bending and tying the pipe by hand, the pipe must not be wrinkled or deformed. It was necessary to make the pipes with a feeling of use clean so that they could function as furniture. The cable ties were fixed cleanly and completely so that the tied pipes would not come loose.
Research: Through this work, tried to recognize the generational conflict that has become an issue as a social problem and to recognize the positive direction of generational integration. Induced a way for everyone to sit on a bench completed with a single string and connect and communicate. Furniture embodies the aesthetic sense of generational integration
Inspiration: The starting point of this work began with an interest in intergenerational conflict and thoughts about the generation that is scattered in the rapid flow of social phenomena. Believe that life can be more sustainable than anything else when everyone is connected by embracing the diversity of life. In order to express the above form, it was produced in a connected form by tying a string.It was made into a knotted form.
Project Duration: The project started in Gongju city, Korea in March 2022, completed in December 2022.
Operation Flow: It is in the form of a ribbon tied together to show circulation. The material of the pipe gives the impression of a soft sofa. Each object is held together with cable ties, making it structurally sound.
