X-plus12

X-Plus is the Idea of ” Functional art” in Living Space

We all have experience of creatively using a product in different context, looking around ,we can sit on a table , use folding door to crack walnuts, use shoe to hit bugs, people are natural creative, we also want to encourage people to think and use their product creatively.

X-Plus is the concept that providing product without definition of functionality,  we design it with beautiful structure has rich possibilities. so this is the project that we also want to work together with our user, discover possibilities of how to use it, Table, Stool, shelf, bench, toy…

Another beauty of X-plus is Stacking!, we are serious about whole process, not just beautiful product but also meaningful,  Stacking multiple x-pluses to saving space for storage and shipping ! The photo was shot when I pack x-pluses after the show :)

Inception Chair

Taking the chair archetype and placing within it chairs that are progressively smaller. Each chair has hand cut grooves on the inside edges of its seat frame as well as notches in the seat back. These grooves range from 1/2” wide to 1/8” wide. The mechanism works so that the pegs fit into the grooves of the chair one size bigger and slides into place so that the horizontal edge between the chair seat and back line up. The simple mechanism allows the chairs to be taken apart and put together with ease.

Chairs for the Dysfunctional

在一個不斷改變的社會中, 這些天天與人互動的產品不該跟著改變嗎? 或許功能不該被改變, 但使用過程和與人互動的方式是可以被創新的.

不同的人有著不同的生活習慣, 不同的坐姿, 不就應該有不同的椅子? 你坐椅子時習慣翹著坐嗎? 你會不自覺的抖腳嗎? 還是你喜歡背對著群眾坐?

這系列的椅子, 敘述著這些生活中常見的小故事. 這些椅子會變成生活中的道具, 將那些不太受歡迎的的舉止正常化嗎? 還是會構成一種療效,幫助那些人矯正他的壞習慣呢?

Rectangular Circle Chair

椅子的概念从”外圆内方”出发,以留白,极简的手法形塑出中式家具特有的空间感.象征传统的椅圈与方正的现代风格椅座产生对话.

此外,因造型与结构的特殊性,使用者须保持端正的坐姿,与西方强调坐的舒适性不同,更多体现的是传统东方礼仪的表达.

Plastic Classic by Pili Wu

Plastic Classic (新台凳),一開始主要是針對台灣文化所做的轉化,想要呈現出我生活在台灣所感受的一種結果。 在台灣,塑膠凳被大量的使用於街道及巷弄,過去的台灣曾是個塑膠產業的王國,塑膠椅早就在巷弄使用了非常久的時間,有趣的是塑膠凳使用,從前至今都沒有人 知道是誰設計與發明的,便宜的單價與簡單的結構加上快速的製程,導致非常的普遍,但就是因為過於普及,沒有人注意到這項有趣的”經典”設計。同樣的,圈椅 是中華文化傳統家具的另一項經典,優雅傳承的穩固結構,代表著某種權利與地位的象徵。 Plastic Classic這項命名也是希望能重新定義這項我認為unknown的”經典”塑膠凳設計,結合反差昂貴優雅的結構,與大量工業且廉價的塑膠凳,兩樣不具 名的”經典”融合成另一項經典,因為歷史與使用背景的不同,成為有力的衝突對比,有趣的也同時結合了高級與廉價的使用背景。 Plastic Classic就是一張看似一體卻各自表述的椅子設計。 Continue Reading →
