The Design

About Modern Chinese Silyang May Patungan-Braso

Ang Modern Chinese ay isang silyang may patungan-braso na inilaan para sa pag-upo at angkop din para ipamalas bilang isang likhang sining. Ang anyo nito ay hango sa tradisyonal na silyang Tsino na may patungan-braso at sa No. B33 na silya ni Marcel Breuer. Sa pamamagitan ng CNC processing, hinuhubog ang plywood at solidong walnut tungo sa isang malikot at walang putol na hugis, na pumapalit sa mga anggulong bahagi at mga kasuk-suan sa kahoy ng tradisyonal na konstruksyon. Kinalkula ang istruktura at lakas ng kahoy upang masuportahan ang timbang ng katawan. Isang metal tube frame ang unang pinag-aralan, ngunit napili ang kahoy dahil sa mas mainit nitong anyo.

Production Technology: CNC Processing,
Plywood, solid wood(walnut)
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.
