About Emperor 桌子

《帝》係一張桌,亦係「帝室傢俬系列」嘅第一件作品。呢個設計遵循「新中式」設計方法論,將中國悠長歷史中嘅傳統設計原則,同其他文化嘅當代設計手法結合起嚟。木製部分係用CNC雕刻機以可持续嘅賈拉木(Jarrah)製成,金屬部分則係用CNC銑床以黃銅加工而成,細節部分則以激光蝕刻處理。呢張桌嘅尺寸為861毫米 x 994毫米 x 672毫米。設計目標係以尊重嘅方式,將中國設計嘅影響帶入當代傢俬設計之中。

Unique Properties: Emperor is the first of the Imperial Furniture Series, born of the novel Neo-Sino design methodology.

Production Technology: CNC routed out of sustainable Jarah.

Design Challenge: Attempt to combine traditional Chinese design methodologies with contemporary design practices.
Research: Neo-Sino believes that modern high design is derived almost exclusively from western design influences such as the neo-classism and Bauhaus movements. In addition to this, western influence has instigated much of the socioeconomic development of Asia in the last few centuries, resulting in many Asian designs falling short as poor western imitations.
Inspiration: Emperor is born of the novel Neo-Sino design methodology, coined by the designer Tiger ChongSheng Guo. Neo-Sino aims to reintegrate true Chinese design influence into the societies of high design, whilst remaining respectful of contemporary design methodologies and values.
