About The Corner Collection Bangko para sa Tatlong Upuan

Ang konsepto ng disenyo ay hango sa mga sinaunang lokal na bangkito ng Taiwan na gawa sa kahoy at yantok, at isinama sa modernong istilo ng tahanan sa pamamagitan ng muling pagbibigay-kahulugan ng disenyo gamit ang iba't ibang materyales. Sa koleksyong ito, mararamdaman ang pinong detalye ng kahoy at ang laminadong disenyo ng ibabaw na may pagkasimple. Ang bangko para sa tatlong upuan ay lubos na ginawa sa kamay gamit ang natural na kahoy. Gawa sa kahoy ngunit magaan, lumilikha ito ng sopistikadong piraso ng artistikong bangko na may maliwanag na kulay ng kahoy at apat na bilog na sulok na nagdudulot ng elegansya.

Production Technology
A mortise and tenon joinery was employed in overall structure for perfect interlocks without any metallic latches. With such structural design, the furniture further empowers its durability, even with varied types of wood properties.The seat surface is crafted with a ventilating piece of rattan, purely handcrafted with traditional Taiwanese rattan pressing techniques, constructing a resilient structural integrity to better meet the load requirements. Even with such high durability, features its lightweight for convenient transportation and delivery.
Design Challenge
The traditional wood joinery and rattan pressing technique is like any other traditional technique in every country, experts with this type of skill have been dramatically decreasing over the past decades. It is hoped that with the rise in popularity of the Corner Bench, this traditional but useful and cost-effective technique can be reflected from the modern furniture engineered with both conventional and cutting-edge practices.
Research
Taiwan has a forest coverage rate of 60%, but a wood self-sufficiency rate of only about 1%. In addition, most of the existing domestic wood is softwood from small-diameter trees and thinnings from forestry. The main core of Corner Bench is to explore how to increase the use of softwood through design, to achieve the goal of using both soft and hard woods, and to find the most suitable ratio to highlight the characteristics of domestic wood.
Inspiration
Inspired by traditional Taiwaness stool, with traditional elements of Taiwan heritage superimposed on the construction and appearance, such as an unparalleled and unprecedented wood joinery method without any metallic latches between any joints, as well as the distinctive mesh seat surface. The combination of lightweightness, simplicity of the construction and the precise craftsmanship delivers a heartwarming, sophisticated and contemporary piece of furniture.
Project Duration
The project started in Taiwan in March 2022. The first deliverable was completed in March 2022 and exhibited at the Taiwan 台灣工坊家具_木質生活展.
Operation Flow
As the components are already modularised, the entire bench can be in mass production with only 3-4 modular parts. Unlike furniture with synthetic materials, natural wood and rattan are 100% biodegradable, demonstrating its high sustainability and environmental friendliness.
