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?
