About The Fortunate Ruyi Chair Silya

Ang Fortunate Ruyi Chair ay isang silyang inspirasyon ang Ruyi motif, isang tradisyonal na simbolo ng Tsina para sa mabuting kapalaran. Ang klasikong hugis ng silya ang bumubuo sa istrukturang batayan at pinagsama sa isang pinasimpleng disenyong Ruyi. Ang pattern ay dinoble at binaligtad, pagkatapos ay pinagtagpi-tagpi at pinagsanib upang bumuo ng isang kurbadong upuan at mga paa. Ang mga hindi regular na kurbadong linya, panloob na kurba, at panlabas na dulo ay lumilikha ng pakiramdam ng daloy at asimetrikong balanse. Ang silya ay may sukat na 500 mm ang lapad, 600 mm ang lalim, at 500 mm ang taas. Pinagsama ang tradisyonal na kultura at makabagong estetika.

Production Technology: For this project, the designer has set the classic chair style shape as the structural basis and combined it with the simplified Ruyi pattern. Then, by duplicating and flipping the pattern, the pattern is overlapped and fused to form a curved seat and legs, perfectly blending traditional culture with modern aesthetics.
Design Challenge: For this project, the designer has analyzed the Ruyi pattern, extracted its connotation, and applied it to the product form so that the product is aesthetically, culturally, and functionally enjoyable. In this way, users will understand the underlying cultural spirit of the chair through their experiences with the product. Moreover, this product interprets the spirit of traditional culture unconventionally, changing our perception of traditional culture yet retaining its cultural connotation and, most importantly, paying tribute to ancestry wisdom. In summary, it is an art piece that is awe-inspiring, thought provoking and mind blowing.
Research: Vladimir Kagan, the noted German American furniture designer, believes that designing a chair is like creating a container for an individual. Therefore, the function, shape, and meaning of the chair are highly associated with the user and the environment. This project is a clever application of one of the historical motifs of Chinese culture, Ruyi, to a modern product design. From 3D natural objects to 2D patterns and then applying them to 3D products, the designer has simplified the lines and colors to create a work that is aesthetically modern and attractive.
Inspiration: Ruyi has served as a unique cultural symbol in Chinese culture and has an underlying meaning of great fortune. The designer has set Ruyi as the primary inspiration for the chair design because, during the designer experiences in the field of interior design over the years, each design project must be executed based on the client preferences and many other contributing factors.
Project Duration: The project was completed in August 2021 in Taipei Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Other than that, the lines of the seat are extended by the Ruyi pattern by the use of the irregular curved lines, unique angles of the inner curves, and the outer corners of the tips to produce a rich and dynamic rhythm of the chair, delivering a sense of flow and producing an asymmetrical balance.
