| DESIGN NAME: Weave Curio Shelf PRIMARY FUNCTION: Curio Shelf INSPIRATION: The inspiration derived from the warp and weft of real cotton or bamboo plain weaving. The imagination of the designer began with winding the leather pieces through the pillars to create an enlarged version of warp and weft weaving. As the design ought to be usable, wooden slabs were then introduced to be joint with the leather and pillar weaving, forming all components into a curio shelf. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The method of winding the leather pieces through the pillars basically lay a foundation for the warps and wefts structure. Also the leathers provide a soft-looking texture which makes it more like a real weave. Such feature is obvious when the viewer looks at it from its behind. The corners of wooden slabs is cut into bevels, making the body of the Weave flat and light. Its permeability allows it to save the connection of the separated parts when it is uesed as a space divider. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The curio shelf can be loaded with certain amount of china, metal ware, model, painting brush or paper for decorative purpose. It can be put into a meeting room, kitchen or studio as the user wish to. Also it can serve a space divider function. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: To build the Weave nearly took one month. The frame part, consisting of the pillars and slabs, was produced in our own factory. The leather pieces were outsourced to a leather good manufacturer. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
