About Modern Chinese Kreslo

Modern Chinese — o'tirish uchun mo'ljallangan, shuningdek san'at asari sifatida namoyish etishga ham mos keladigan kreslo. Uning shakli an'anaviy Xitoy kreslosidan va Marcel Breuerning B33 raqamli stulidan ilhomlangan. CNC ishlov berish orqali faner va yaxlit yong'oq yog'ochi silliq va uzluksiz konturga aylantirilib, an'anaviy konstruksiyaning burchakli qismlari va yog'ochsozlik birikmalari o'rnini egallaydi. Yog'ochning tuzilishi va mustahkamligi tana og'irligini ko'tarish uchun hisoblab chiqilgan. Avval metall quvurli ram o'rganilgan, ammo yanada issiqroq ko'rinishi tufayli yog'och tanlangan.

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.
