About Breathing Apple 艺术家具装置
《呼吸苹果》是一件兼具座椅功能的艺术装置。其造型保留了苹果的轮廓，并以不规则的凹陷暗示着被压力重塑的身体。表面的凹陷与回弹表达了呼吸的意象与内在复苏的理念。作品由工厂废弃的皮革边角料手工缝制而成，天然的色差、外露的缝线与未经修整的边缘共同营造出温暖而富有触感的肌理。人体工学决定了曲面的走向，使作品既可作为陈列艺术品展示，也可作为日常座椅使用。

- Production Technology
- The piece is made from leather scraps that were discarded by factories. These scraps are hand stitched and carefully assembled to give them new life. The natural color variations, stitching lines, and curved shapes of the leather create a unique texture and a sense of warmth and vitality.
- Design Challenge
- Breathing Apple not only showcases the potential for material recycling but also highlights the sense of responsibility toward society and the environment. It encourages people to start with small actions in their daily lives, turn environmental awareness into real, everyday practices, and use design thinking that is more authentic and full of warmth to address the possibilities of future living.
- Research
- This piece continues the creative concept that authenticity is more important than beauty, emphasizing that genuine texture and a sincere process are more valuable than perfect appearances. Each imperfect detail is a sign of life and over time, people will come to understand that those gaps and wrinkles can make something whole and complete.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration comes from the keen observation of modern life. In the fast paced and stressful world, people often feel like an apple that is been pressed appearing whole on the outside, but carrying invisible pressure. The apple, a symbol understood worldwide, represents life,healing,and growth.
- Project Duration
- This product was designed on 2022/11/1 and completed with final design in 2024
- Operation Flow
- Each piece of leather in the Breathing Apple is carefully selected, paired, and sewn together by the designer, reflecting the craft and warmth of the maker. The result is a tactile fruit of life with beautiful curves and textures that invite touch. The design avoids mechanical cutting, leaving the leather’s natural edges intact, highlighting the idea that imperfections are what make it unique.
