About Modern Chinese Seza misy sandriny

Modern Chinese dia seza misy sandriny natao hipetrahana ary mety hasehoana ihany koa amin'ny maha-asa kanto azy. Ny endriny dia nalaina avy amin'ny seza misy sandriny sinoa nentim-paharazana sy avy amin'ny seza No. B33 an'i Marcel Breuer. Ny fanodinana CNC dia mamolavola ny hazo fisaka mifanindry (plywood) sy ny hazo walnut vaventy ho endrika miserana sy tsy misy fivavahana, ka manolo ny ampahany zorony sy ny fikambanana amin'ny asa hazo amin'ny fananganana nentim-paharazana. Ny firafitra sy ny herin'ny hazo dia nokajiana mba hahazakana ny lanjan'ny vatana. Nodinihina voalohany aloha ny rafitra fantsona vy, saingy nofidina ny hazo noho ny endriny mafanafana kokoa.

Production Technology: CNC Processing,
Plywood, solid wood(walnut)
Design Challenge: The most challenging part of this chair concept is to design proper structure and calculate wood strength enable to support people's weight. The original idea was to use metal tube and bending technique to create the chair structure, but the finish appearance looks too cold and contemporary, therefore, the material was switched from metal back to wood.
Research: For this project the idea/design was just pop into my head when I was reading a book called "Encyclopedia of China Traditional Furniture Making and Appreciation" Therefore, it is difficult to position this chair as a design piece or an art work.
Inspiration: Modern Chinese Armchair was inspired by traditional Chinese armchair and Marcel Breuer's No. B33 chair design. The original motive was not to simplified a traditional Chinese armchair into a modern looking one, but to borrowed the design from the past and infused with present technology and material to expand a new style of Chinese furniture.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2021 in Taipei, Taiwan and minor changes are undergoing
Operation Flow: Modern Chinese Armchair is mainly for sitting purpose but can also be viewed as piece of art work.
