The Design

About Emperor Bord

Emperor är ett bord och det första objektet i möbelserien Imperial Furniture Series. Designen följer metodiken Neo-Sino, som kombinerar traditionella designprinciper från Kinas långa historia med samtida designpraxis från andra kulturer. Träkomponenterna är CNC-frästa av hållbart Jarrah-trä, och metalldelarna är CNC-frästa av mässing. Detaljerna är laseretsade. Bordet mäter 861 mm x 994 mm x 672 mm. Målet är att föra in kinesiskt designinflytande i samtida möbler på ett respektfullt sätt.

Design Challenge
Attempt to combine traditional Chinese design methodologies with contemporary design practices.
Research
Neo-Sino believes that modern high design is derived almost exclusively from western design influences such as the neo-classism and Bauhaus movements. In addition to this, western influence has instigated much of the socioeconomic development of Asia in the last few centuries, resulting in many Asian designs falling short as poor western imitations.
Inspiration
Emperor is born of the novel Neo-Sino design methodology, coined by the designer Tiger ChongSheng Guo. Neo-Sino aims to reintegrate true Chinese design influence into the societies of high design, whilst remaining respectful of contemporary design methodologies and values.

The project started in August 2018 in Wellington and finished in December 2020 in Auckland, and was exhibited in RNDR 2020 in November 2020.
