關於 It's a Metaphor 桌子

這個項目本身很有趣，同時提高了社會性別平等意識。具體來說，它使用了相撲的比喻，相撲是日本社會最男性主導的運動之一。鑑於性別歧視的規定，不允許婦女參加這項運動的職業比賽。由於月經不調，由於她們的雜質，使她們與摔跤圈接壤。將一個相撲戰士摔倒在地上，服務於花盆或其他人們可能需要的其他東西，僅僅使用諷刺和幽默就褻瀆了男子氣概相撲的魔力。

由設計師提供嘅製作人員名單、團隊成員同技術詳情。

獨特屬性: This is a furniture product able to speak and provoke, challenging with irony and a clumsy smile unethical behaviors of our times.
尺寸同包裝: Measures are in mm.

Glass platform ø: 1800 / Glass platform thickness: 10 / Body with: 850 / Body height: 750 / Body depth: 1000
標籤: table, social design, equality of the sexes, Japan, sumo
生產技術: 3D-printed assembled object. It can be produced either way with Eco-friendly 3D-printed Poly Lactic Acid filaments or carbon fibers. The structure is divided in multiparts, hand refined and assembled. Successively the whole body is glazed by immersion and finished with a vitreous enamel coating.
A round tempered glass is based on the structure and secured using discreet clear glass high-grip bumpers, specifically designed for the purpose.

The structural analysis take into consideration the chosen materials and the multipart splitting process, where every cut and internal printed reinforcements are made to dump and sustain the weight the structure will go through.
設計挑戰: The creative challenge of this project is to combine the practical function of a furniture piece and communication contents as a means of social commitment. Sumo wrestlers are so well regarded and revered in society to be almost considered as macho semi-gods in their country; placing one of them in a conscious submissive position -grateful and happy to help others- wishes to rebalance a more male-dominated thinking to a non-discriminatory one.
研究: The main focus of this project -together with many pieces produced by our design studio- is to raise awareness about social rights and equal opportunity. Specifically, the target of our research was speaking about the equality of the sexes without being moralistic or patronising; in order to do this we chose to use irony and humour, two powerful rhetorical devices to convey a disputed concept without too much bloodshed.
靈感: "The piece of wood came alive and it was able to speak". That's pretty much what happened to Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio; likewise, adding communication contents to a product, gives this object an identity and the ability to speak to people.
This project is poking fun at itself while aim to raise social awareness on equality of the sexes. Specifically, it uses a metaphor which springs from sumo, one of the most male dominated sport in the Japanese society. Women are not allowed to compete professionally in this sport given sexist rules, which by tradition border them outside the wrestling ring as a result of their "impurity" by reason of the menstrual blood.
Knocking a sumo warrior to the ground at the service of a flower pot -or any other need people may require from a table- ironically desecrates this macho dominance still present in some traditions.
項目時長: The project has started in December 2019 in London and finished, as it is shown, in February 2020. Currently, the table has a unique prototype and will be ready to be produced and launched serially in May 2020.
操作流程: A table which can hosts up to 10 seaters. Ideal to be placed wherever an open minded spirit is at home.
