About Modern Chinese Kursi Gacmeed

Modern Chinese waa kursi gacmeed loogu talagalay fadhiisin, sidoo kalena ku habboon in loo soo bandhigo sida qayb farshaxan ah. Qaabku wuxuu ka soo qaatay kursi gacmeedka dhaqameed ee Shiinaha iyo kursiga Marcel Breuer ee lambarkiisu yahay B33. Habaynta CNC ayaa qaabaynaysa alwaax leben ah iyo qori walnut ah oo adag si loo helo qaab dareere ah oo aan xariiq lahayn, taasoo beddelaysa qaybaha xagalka leh iyo isku-xirka farsamada alwaaxda ee dhismaha dhaqameedka. Qaab-dhismeedka iyo xoogga alwaaxda ayaa la xisaabiyay si ay u taageeraan miisaanka jirka. Marka hore waa la baaray qaab tuubbo bir ah, laakiin alwaax ayaa la doortay muuqaalkiisa diirran awgeed.

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.
