位于首尔的设计师Jihye Kang着迷于有趣的家具“ Purity Series ”中的材料简约性。
丙烯酸以其耐用性和透明性着称，是日常生活中几乎所有方面都遇到的通用材料。对于设计师来说，它也是这一独特系列灵感的主要来源。特别是，Kang对该材料的反射和折射特性以及该显示的双重功能感兴趣：同时显示和遮盖。这些作品以边桌，凳子和隔板为特色，由厚实的圆柱形丙烯酸棒制成，均匀地排列在精密切割的矩形不锈钢底座上，这与丙烯酸的质地和外观形成了有目的的对比。康的作品突出了丙烯酸的透明特性，使下方的钢产生了扭曲的视觉扭曲，并根据观看方向不断变化。
Seoul-based designer Jihye Kang looks to the simplicity of materials in the intriguing furniture pieces ‘Purity Series.’
Known for its durability and clarity, acrylic is a versatile material encountered in almost every facet of daily life. For the designer, it also serves as the primary source of inspiration for this unique series. In particular, Kang was intrigued by the material’s unique properties of reflection and refraction and the dual functionality this displays: simultaneously revealing and obscuring. The pieces, featuring side tables and stools, and partitions, are formed of thick, cylindrical acrylic rods, uniformly arranged atop a precision-cut rectangular stainless steel base—a purposeful contrast to the acrylic in both texture and presence. Kang’s pieces highlight the transparent properties of the acrylic, creating a warped, visual distortion of the steel beneath that continually alters depending on the direction from which they are seen. This pairing of materials forms an absorbing visual dynamic—the acrylic variable and tactile next to its geometric, industrial counterpart.
