De Kawadoko Subsellium
Kawadoko est subsellium ligneum ad relevandum ab aestu aestivo excogitatum. Nomen ad suggesta refert quae in Iaponia aestate super flumina aedificantur, ubi homines iuxta aquam currentem se refrigerant. Subsellium ex quercu alba factum est, iuncturis mortasii et cuspidis ac torno lignario adhibitis, structuram architecturae ligneae traditionalis sequens. Longa intervalla inter virgas sedilis aerem transire sinunt ad frigidam sedendi experientiam praebendam. Sedile latius quam solitum est, ut usores cruribus complicatis sedere vel iacere ad quiescendum possint. Anguli virgarum rotundati ansarum vice funguntur cum subsellium movetur.

Post Designum
Fasciculus Nuntii
Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.
- Proprietates Singulares
- Inspired by the memories of kawadoko, this bench is specially designed for escaping from the summer heat. The long gaps between the seat create a cool and well-ventilated sitting experience, and the rods that make up the seat are cut into flat surfaces to ensure comfort, while the edges remain circular, similar to the shape of bamboo, and serve as handles when moving the chair.
- Dimensiones et Involucrum
- Width 430mm x Depth 1520mm x Height 460mm
- Notulae
- bench, summer, nature, furniture
- Technologia Productionis
- Production: tenon and mortise techniques, woodturning
Material: white oak - Provocatio Designandi
- The biggest challenge is the making of the 1.5 meters-long wooden rods, which requires customized jigs to stabilize during the making process. And the burnt marks on the curved surface, after several attempts,have been successfully erased using certain techniques.
- Investigatio
- The project has explored the wooden structure of traditional Japanese architecture, and transformed it into the constructive concept of the design. Another research is about the relevance between furniture and human body scale,and how our body reacts in different circumstances, as these are the factors that refined the prototype in the process.
- Inspiratio
- Kawadoko, which mean river floors, are patios built over the river by restaurants in Kibune during the summer. While kawadoko are temporary, they are quite sturdy-built with wood and bamboo.
In Kibune, people are only a few feet above the river as they can enjoy the sound of water, the breeze, and the mist.
Thinking Kawadoko as a pleasant escape from the summer heat, the design aims to evoke memories of kawadoko, bringing a sense of coolness into daily life. - Duratio Operis
- The project started in August, 2020 and finished in January, 2021, Taiwan.
- Cursus Operationis
- The scale and dimension of this project has been carefully arranged to achieve a friendly user experience. The width of the bench is wider than the average, so that user can easily sit cross-legged or even lie down to rest. The height of the shelf is in exact position where the hands are naturally dropping,which means anything on the shelf are within reach.the round rods serve as handles when moving the bench. In addition, a foldable cushion can be used during winter to ensure comfort.
