Ching Chair 清轉合

Cement and Bamboo are both very familiar materials in Taiwan. However they had been recognized and used as non-respecting ways around us, which makes them seem to be low quality materials in Taiwan. Ching Chair is a furniture design project which respecting the texture feature of original material, we redefined the significance and relationship between both material, through the sense of touch and vision while being use. Ching Chair can express the craft beauty of original combination, we see pure and innocent attractions in their form.

水泥與台灣竹，兩者美麗材料在台灣卻因普及而被忽視，舊時的竹器與現代的水泥，藉由兩種原始材質的特點運用與人體關係的結合，設計成凳椅，將材質以新形式樣貌創造在使用過程中的新感動。期望於舊與新之間轉化出一條橋梁，喚醒人們重新檢視並體驗身邊質地細節純粹的美感，藉由設計去尊重周圍環境原生材質觀念，讓材質材料以自然獨特的形式創造新時代美學觀點。
