这是为Conde House设计的家具系列,Conde House是一家位于日本著名的旭川木制家具地区的制造商。我们把每块木头劈开,好像要把它剥下来。椅子的靠背被分割成扶手和腿,衣架的顶部被削掉以提供外套挂钩。边桌的支架被劈裂成三条腿。我们保持较大的木块在其原始厚度,以提供必要的强度,并使用薄木块分裂出更微妙的部分。我们轻轻顺着纹理走,这样木头就能保持原来的柔韧性。

A furniture collection designed for Conde House, a manufacturer based in Japan’s famous Asahikawa wooden furniture region. We splintered each piece of wood as though peeling it away. Chairs’ backrests divide to become armrests and legs, and the top of the coat stand peels away to provide coat hooks. The side table’s stand splinter to turn into three legs. We kept larger pieces of wood at their original thickness to provide strength where necessary, and used thin pieces of wood that had splintered off for more delicate parts. We approached the wood gently, going with the grain so that the wood would retain its original pliancy.
