Furniture

Design for the idealization

我們希望能夠提供更符合使用者長期需求與環境友善的居家用具,不同的使用需求容易隨著時間與居住環境而改變,因此我們依序從商業服務開始著手,進而思考產品的零件、尺寸、材質應如何設計以符合現代人需求。Better 系列家具透過將共用零件的概念應用到桌、椅、櫃等居家用具,使用者可自行規劃期望的樣貌進行不同的組合。除了在產品的使用上達成實踐個人化的使用性外,產品可回收服務更進一步達到永續利用的雙重理想。


We hope to provide household appliances that are more in line with the long-term needs of users and are environmentally friendly. Different usage needs are easy to change with time and living environment. Therefore, we start with commercial services in order, and then think about the parts, dimensions, and materials of the products. How should it be designed to meet the needs of modern people. The Better series of furniture applies the concept of shared parts to household appliances such as tables, chairs, cabinets, and so on. Users can plan their desired appearance and make different combinations. In addition to achieving personalized usability in the use of products, product recyclability services further achieve the double ideal of sustainable use



Background
家具與城市的關係?

亞洲地區等人口移入造成密度逐漸擴張的城市如台灣台北、日本東京等,有著現代人居住空間逐漸縮減的現象。而隨著時間的推移與居住空間改變亦是造成人們生活需求隨著改變的原因。上述現況皆會造成現代家居用具存著仍可使用卻被丟棄或二手淘汰的可能,導致浪費等環境破壞的現象。從上述的問題思考,我們認為家具應該能更符合現代人需求,同時對於環境必須更加友善。


The migration of people from Asia and other regions has resulted in the gradual expansion of density in cities such as Taipei in Taiwan and Tokyo in Japan. The living space of modern people is gradually shrinking. The change in living space over time is also the cause of the change in people's living needs. The above-mentioned current situation will cause the possibility that modern household appliances can still be used but be discarded or second-hand eliminated, leading to the phenomenon of waste and other environmental damage. Thinking from the above problems, we believe that furniture should be more in line with the needs of modern people, and at the same time, it must be more friendly to the environment.
