About Breathing Apple Installacion de Mobilièr Artistic

Breathing Apple es una installacion artistica que servís tanben de cadièra. La forma garda lo perfil d'una poma, amb d'enfonsaments irregulars que suggerisson un còs remodelat per la pression. L'enfonsament e la recuperacion de la susfàcia exprimisson l'idèa de la respiracion e del reviscòl interior. La pèça es cosuda a la man a partir de retalhs de cuèr descartats per las fabricas. Las variacions naturalas de color, las linhas de cordura visiblas e los bòrds pas retalhats crèan una textura cauda e tactila. L'ergonomia guida las corbas, atal l'òbra se pòt presentar coma art d'exposicion o s'utilizar coma sèti de cada jorn.

Production Technology: The piece is made from leather scraps that were discarded by factories. These scraps are hand stitched and carefully assembled to give them new life. The natural color variations, stitching lines, and curved shapes of the leather create a unique texture and a sense of warmth and vitality.
Design Challenge: Breathing Apple not only showcases the potential for material recycling but also highlights the sense of responsibility toward society and the environment.

Each imperfect detail is a sign of life and over time, people will come to understand that those gaps and wrinkles can make something whole and complete.
Inspiration: The inspiration comes from the keen observation of modern life. In the fast paced and stressful world, people often feel like an apple that is been pressed appearing whole on the outside, but carrying invisible pressure. The apple, a symbol understood worldwide, represents life,healing,and growth.
Project Duration: This product was designed on 2022/11/1 and completed with final design in 2024
Operation Flow: Each piece of leather in the Breathing Apple is carefully selected, paired, and sewn together by the designer, reflecting the craft and warmth of the maker. The result is a tactile fruit of life with beautiful curves and textures that invite touch. The design avoids mechanical cutting, leaving the leather’s natural edges intact, highlighting the idea that imperfections are what make it unique.
