Inheritance
Bamboo Stool Makingover
The First Layer
織品作為產品與使用者接觸的第一層媒介，帶給人視覺與觸覺上的第一印象。很高興能參與由實踐大學與 Kvadrat 合辦的工作坊 The First Layer。
在此次工作坊的專案題目中，我們將運用紡織品使現有產品擁有全新面貌，而我選擇家中的竹板凳作為改造對象。
As the first layer of interaction between products and users, textiles provide the initial visual and tactile impressions. I'm delighted to participate in "The First Layer" workshop co-organized by Shih Chien University and Kvadrat.
In this workshop project, we will utilize textiles to give existing products a brand new look. I have chosen a bamboo stool from my home as the object of transformation.
The Past Story of the Stool
這張竹板凳是放在家中很多年的物件。其有趣之處在於竹桿間相互卡榫而不使用螺絲膠水固定的結構。我希望在改造後使用者仍然能夠看見竹凳原有的珍貴。
This stool named "Inheritance" is because the stool has been in my family since I was born. I think the preciousness of the stool is how it constructed without any screws and glue. I expext that after the renovation, the user can see the past story of the object.
解構紡織品，將部分絲線抽出。使紡織品包覆在竹桿上時仍能看見竹子本身的材質，同時創造布料本身不同的紋樣。
Deconstructing the textile, I carefully pull out some strands of silk thread. This allows the textile to wrap around the bamboo frame while still revealing the natural texture of the bamboo itself. Simultaneously, it creates diffferent patterns within the fabric itself.
在拆解竹凳後才發現椅面是由一根根竹片組構而成，一拆開椅架，竹片便散落。運用織品將竹片分開，凸顯其結構之趣。
After dismantling the bamboo stool, I discovered that the seat was constructed from individual bamboo strips. As I disassembled the chair frame, the bamboo strips scattered apart. Using textiles, I separate the bamboo strips to highlight their structural beauty.
