About Strings Birlamchi vazifa: Tabu ret
Bu tabu ret Yaponiyaning Okinava hududidan kelib chiqqan an'anaviy torli cholg'u — sanshindan ilhom oladi. Uning iliqligi va torlarining tarangligi tabiiy yog'och, silliq egri chiziqlar va mahkam tortilgan torlar orqali ifodalanadi. O'tirgich bo'ylab tortilgan torlar kundalik buyumlarni mahkamlash imkonini berib, foydalanuvchining mavjudligi va kundalik hayotini eslatuvchi quvonch va qulaylik lahzalarini yaratadi. Qoliplangan fanerdan tayyorlangan ushbu tabu ret oyoqlardan o'tirgichgacha silliq egri chiziqqa erishadi, qatlamli yog'och esa mustahkamlikni ta'minlab, kundalik hayotga iliqlik va mayin ilhom olib keladi.

- Production Technology
- The manufacturing process utilizes molded plywood, achieving gentle curves by applying pressure to bend the wood. The structure draws inspiration from the tension and stringing seen in Okinawan sanshin instruments, employing a multi-layered wood construction that ensures visual lightness while maintaining sufficient stability. Wood is carefully selected and utilized to convey the warmth and natural atmosphere of Okinawa.
- Design Challenge
- To bend wood using pressure, I created a mold. For clean bending, the wood must adhere tightly to the mold. Finding the right pressure application proved challenging one that ensures the wood stays firmly pressed against the mold while maintaining stability until the shape is fully set.
