About Sunset Gold Kiti cha Kupumzikia

Sunset Gold ni kiti cha kupumzikia kilichoundwa kwa ajili ya sebule, vyumba vya kusomea na klabu. Kiti hicho kimefunikwa kwa ngozi bora ya ng'ombe ya daraja la juu kutoka Amerika Kaskazini juu ya povu lenye unyumbufu wa hali ya juu, na uso wake wenye rangi nyekundu ya mvinyo unaonyesha muundo wa mawimbi. Msingi wake umetengenezwa kwa aloi ya alumini ya kiwango cha ndege, iliyoumbwa kwa kupindwa kwa CNC na kuunganishwa kwa uchomeleaji wa argon arc, kisha kupakwa shaba ya bronzi, kusuguliwa kwa waya na kung'arishwa kwa mikono. Ngozi hukatwa na kushonwa kwa mikono ili vinyweleo vyake vya asili viendelee kuonekana. Urefu wa kiti wa milimita 420 na pembe ya egemeo la mgongo ya nyuzi 105 hutoa msaada wa starehe kwa mgongo na miguu.

Production Technology
Mainly made of imported North American top-layer cowhide and high-hardness aviation-grade aluminum alloy. The leather is hand-cut and sewn to retain the texture of natural pores. the metal parts use CNC precision bending and argon arc welding, with bronze electroplating and wire drawing on the surface, and finally polished through multiple manual processes to ensure that every detail is as smooth as a mirror.
Design Challenge
How to realistically restore the "Rouge Ripple" texture of the leather and the "Bronze Wire Drawing" texture of the metal in ultra-high-definition rendering, and find a harmonious point of color between the two, was the main challenge of this design. By adjusting the IOR and glossiness of the materials, a visual effect that is both retro and modern was finally achieved.
Research
This design takes Material Narration as its core, exploring the balance between the warm texture of leather and the cold severity of metal. Through high-precision 3D rendering technology, the visual effect of Sunset Gold is maximized, proving that under a minimalist shape, the texture and light of the material itself are enough to support the design soul of a piece of furniture.
Inspiration
The design draws inspiration from the tranquility of twilight and the fluidity of liquid metal. As the sun sets the glow falls upon ancient bronze artifacts where warm light meets cool metal creating a serene and luxurious atmosphere. The curve of the backrest mimics ripples on water stirred by a gentle breeze while the metal legs resemble frozen flames capturing a moment in time. This contrast between light and shadow softness and hardness forms the core meaning of the design.
Project Duration
The design had started in Shenyang in January 2025, completed in Shenyang in June 2025, and displayed in the museum of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang in June in 2025.
Operation Flow
Suitable for use in living rooms, studies, or clubs. When the user sits on it, the soft leather quickly fits the body curves, providing a cloud-like support. the bronze metal legs flow with light and shadow as the viewing angle changes, adding a dynamic visual focus to the space. It is both a haven for rest and a visual art piece in the space.
