About Flou 玄關几

Flou 係一張用鑄造樹脂製成嘅玄關几。每張几由三至四塊樹脂板組成,分別構成几腳、檯面同橫撐。樹脂板用訂製模具鑄造,再經銑削、開槽,並以簡單榫接組裝,確保穩固。樹脂內部保留咗工廠剩餘物料,亦有推出染色版本。半透明嘅材質隨住光影變化,喺清澈同朦朧之間轉換。整體造型簡約,闊 1600 毫米、深 400 毫米、高 750 毫米。

Unique Properties: Flou Tables in resin explore translucency, light, and shadow as central design elements. Prototyping began with the idea of preserving overlooked by-products within resin, giving them permanence, and later also evolved into tinted variations that adapt to different spaces. With minimal forms, the tables highlight details, depth, and shifting opacity. Flou stands apart for its poetic materiality, offering furniture that invites pause and reflection in a fast-moving world.

Production Technology: Each Flou Table is composed of three to four resin slabs - legs, top, and tie members, cast in custom molds. Parts are routed and grooved, assembled with simple joinery for stability and clarity of form. The process evolved through extensive trials, addressing challenges of mold feasibility, joinery, and resin overheating. Through adaptive techniques, optimized pouring methods and repurposing factory setups, we achieved consistency and scaled the process for larger furniture.
Design Challenge: The hardest part was mastering resin at a furniture scale. Early molds failed, joinery proved unstable, and overheating led to cracks. After months of trials, we refined casting, adapted techniques, and repurposed factory setups to stabilize production. The creative challenge lay in balancing minimal form with expressive materiality. Externally, resins unpredictable behavior, scarce in depth knowledge, and production limits tested us, while internally, the drive was to merge function with meaning.
Research: The research was applied and hands-on, aimed at finding ways to reuse materials and make resin casting work at the scale of furniture. We set objectives to achieve stability, durability, and visual clarity. Through repeated prototyping and trials, using simple tools, temperature checks, and molds, we tested over 120 samples. The results gave us stable methods for casting and joinery. Alongside, design guided the process, shaping minimal forms that elevate light, shadow, and depth, turning technical research into meaningful furniture.
Inspiration: Flou Series draws inspiration from intersecting architectural planes and postmodern explorations of transparency. Evolving from material experimentation, resin was chosen for its ability to capture depth, light, and shadow. The factory remnants and curated tints add texture and tone, allowing each piece to respond uniquely to its surroundings, creating furniture that feels contemplative and timeless.
Project Duration: Research on material development and production optimization began in June 2024. The products were designed, prototyped and refined through late 2024 and early 2025. By February 2025, the designs were production-ready and showcased at India Design Week in New Delhi, India.
Operation Flow: The Flou Console works as everyday furniture while also standing as a sculptural piece. It changes with light and shadow, appearing clear at times and hazy at others, inviting you to notice new details each time. Made from simple resin slabs joined together with care, it is strong and stable yet visually light. Flou goes beyond just being useful, adding a calm, timeless character that makes any space feel more refined and reflective.
