Xumu Chair


Delicately blend industrial language with the rocking chair and present the piled-up image of wood in forestry. Drawing from the idea from the Ropeway wood delivering in the early Tai-Ping Mountain age, the three round logs are tied together to build the seat, symbolizing a wood pile in a timber yard. The handles eschew the Ming Dynasty style. Peeling off the curved wood will make a bench when circumstance calls.

以太平山林場為發想,當年人們取用木頭,利用索道運送,爾後運送到羅東浸泡在蓄木池中。以整個過程為概念元素,企圖呈現原木、捆綁擺放運送的過程,將原木與綑木這兩個元素應用在此作品中。

將宜蘭特有林場特色運用在兒童搖馬的設計上,將林場木材堆放的意向,透過三個圓木(森)的堆疊與捆綁,構成座位,兩邊扶手取明式椅之元素,讓兒童在使用時可以抓穩;同時,等到小孩大了之後,可以將下方木條取下,變成一般的單椅,永續使用。
