Mayelana ne-Strings Isihlalo Esincane

Lesi sihlalo esincane sithola ugqozi ku-sanshin, ithuluzi lomculo lendabuko elinezintambo elivela e-Okinawa, eJapane. Ukufudumala kwaso nokuqina kwezintambo zaso kuvezwa ngokhuni lwemvelo, izijiko ezithambile, nezintambo ezidonswe zaqina. Izintambo ezinqamula isihlalo zivumela izinto zansuku zonke ukuba zibanjwe zibe sendaweni, kwakheke izikhathi zenjabulo nokukhululeka kanti futhi kuvuse ukuba khona nokuphila kwansuku zonke komsebenzisi. Senziwe ngokusebenzisa i-plywood ebunjiwe, lesi sihlalo sifinyelela isijiko esithambile kusukela emilenzeni kuya esihlalweni ngokhuni olubekelelene oluqinisekisa amandla, kuletha ukufudumala nokushukumisa okumnene ekuphileni kwansuku zonke.

Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza
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.
Inselele Yokudweba
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.
Ucwaningo

The sanshin possesses a uniquely warm tone and form found only in Okinawa. In this stool, those elements are incorporated into the design through form, texture, and the experience of use. Such cross-cultural sensibilities will become a presence that brings stimulation to everyday life.
Ugqozi
This stool draws inspiration from the Sanshin, Okinawa's traditional musical instrument. Its design incorporates the warm resonance produced by the sanshin's sound and the beauty of tension and harmony inherent in its stringed structure. Just as the Sanshin has been a constant companion in daily life in Okinawa, existing as a warm memory, This stool was designed to quietly receive moments of time and presence in everyday life, becoming an object that lingers in memory.
Ubude Bephrojekthi
The project started in June 2025 in Okinawa and finished in September 2025 in Okinawa.
Ukuhamba Kokusebenza
Users can temporarily hold daily necessities and personal items by slipping them between the cords. Slipping favorite items into this stool can lift your spirits, while slipping in mementos can provide emotional comfort. The cords are also replaceable, allowing users to customize the color to match their preferences or room decor. The central opening in the seat is designed to fit the body comfortably, enhancing seating comfort, while the trapezoidal outward-spreading legs enable efficient stacking. This allows the stool to naturally blend into everyday life.
