Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This design is a communal bamboo seat with a luminous effect. This communal seat uses the toughness, corrosion resistance and plasticity of bamboo. At the same time, a green plant place is added on the top of the seat to make it clean air in communal places. It also enhances the atmosphere of the communal space, and combines the lighting effects to add an artistic effect to the communal space.
- Inspiration
- China's intangible bamboo weaving culture is broad and profound, and there are various ways of bamboo weaving. I want to apply Chinese traditional bamboo weaving culture to public places. The appearance of this seat comes from China's copper hot pot. The purpose of this design is to establish a platform for strangers to rest and communicate in public places through a round public space chair. The green plants on the top can purify the air and make people feel happy.
- Research
- We studied bamboo weaving texture patterns, Chinese bamboo weaving methods, and studied the steel frame of public seats.
- Challenge
- The public seat must be seated, and the load-bearing structure and material selection of the public seat frame must be considered.
- Realization and Technology
- The material is made of steel and bamboo. Cut the reinforcement to the appropriate length for welding, and finally weld it into a frame. Bamboo is cut into bamboo pieces and then woven into different patterns by hand
- Operation and Interaction
- The design is a public seat with light, which needs to be manually turned on. The light passes through the bamboo to present a light and shadow effect.
