About Magic Blocks Ameza y'ikawa

Magic Blocks ni ihuriro ry'ameza atatu y'ikawa akozwe mu cyuma kitagira ingese (stainless steel). Inkoni zihuzwa n'intoki hakoreshejwe uburyo bwo gukomatanya bwitwa tungsten inert gas welding, hanyuma zikarangizwa n'irangi ry'ifu (powder coating). Uduce twashushanyijwe tuboneka mu mabara atandukanye kandi tukaba tunogeye gukoreshwa imbere no hanze y'inzu. Ameza atatu afite uburebure butandukanye, ku buryo ibice bishobora gukomatanya cyangwa bigakoreshwa buri kimwe ukwacyo. Guhuza mu buryo butandukanye bizana ingaruka z'ibitekerezo n'ukudukomatanya kw'amabara mu cyumba. Iyo atarimo gukoreshwa, ameza ashobora kugaragara nk'ibihangano by'ubugeni mu rugo. Imiterere yayo ihagaze mu buryo butambitse n'ubuhagaze, kandi ishusho igumana imiterere y'ibanze kandi itarimbishijwe.

The Recognition

About the Igihembo cya A' Design Award cya Ifeza

Magic Blocks Ameza y'ikawa ni uwegukanye Igihembo cya A' Design Award cya Ifeza, ishimwe ridasanzwe ry'agaciro gakomeye ritangwa ku bishushanyo byo ku rwego rwo hejuru, byiza kandi bikora ku mutima. Abegukanye Ifeza ni ibihangano by'ubuhanga bukomeye kandi bifite guhanga kwinshi, bigaragaza ubuhanga bwimbitse, impano n'ubushishozi bw'ababihanze. Magic Blocks Ameza y'ikawa biteganyijwe ko izaba igihangano cy'icyitegererezo, gifite ubunyamwuga bukomeye n'udushya twimbitse. Iki gishushanyo cyegukanye Ifeza ni igihangano kizwi kandi gishimwa, gifasha kugura imbibi z'ubuhanzi, ubumenyi, ubushushanyo n'ikoranabuhanga. Magic Blocks Ameza y'ikawa ni igihangano benshi bifuza, gikangura ibyifuzo, gitanga amarangamutima meza kandi gitera igitangaza.

Unique Properties: The boards are joined together by craft welders and finished in various colors of paint coating treatment, suitable for indoors and outdoors.Functionally, the objects are designed in different heights to overlap or simply serving its purpose individually.In vision, through different combinations, perspective and color overlap are generated to decorate different interior spaces.

Production Technology: Made of stainless steel, the rods are joined together by craft welders using tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding methods; and finished in powder coating treatment.The surface is painted in different colors, suitable for indoors and outdoors.
Design Challenge: In the design, designer strictly employ shapes in horizontal and vertical formats; and when shapes and forms are utilized, it will have to be the most basic unadorned geometric forms.The challenge is to find the geometric shapes to place through to increase the perspective of the table.The hardest part of the design activity is in the production of the tables.The simplicity and clarity of the design requires good precision in the welding, almost seeking perfect in machinated beauty but in the form of craft.Also in terms of measurements, a slight deviation will make a drastic visual effect hence accuracy and consistence is important in the making.
Research: The research is based on the rediscovery of space, perspective and color, and on the impact that on furniture and interior spaces. Which got others further into a dialogue on the idea of design being conscious in intent, and also how can design be deconstructed to derive a level of novelty besides its dominant principles.
Inspiration: Is design often conscious with intent? Does the design often use a sense of space? How can deconstruction and perspective design bring novelty besides its dominant principles?Inspired by spatial illusion, the result is a set of steel interpretation accentuated by its surface and colors.This experiential project exemplifies an exploration of systematic practice, visual interactions and human experiences.This experimental project is an example of exploration of visual perspective and exploration.
Project Duration: The project started in 2016 in Taipei.A prototype was made in 2018 in Taipei. Photo in 2019.
Operation Flow: These three objects are combined in simply used as a coffee table alone.When not in use, they can be considered art at home.
