《方圆》系列多宝阁
The shelves of Square & Round series
1、外观与细节:《方圆》系列多宝阁依从文化家居的设计理念,强调融汇古今,以华夏古老的吉祥文化为引导,诠释人与人之间和而不同,既各自独立又相互依存的幸福观。
1. Appearance and details of design: Designers believe that furnitures are supposed to bear cultural connotations. Thus we follow this concept to have designed the shelves of the series, absorbing essence of both ancient and modern times. We inherit the time-honored belief on auspiciousness and practice the following philosophy: Each and every individual is different yet lives in harmony; they are independent yet tightly related. Such a belief reveals Chinese people’s philosophy in happiness.
多宝阁不仅遵从《方圆》系列家具以外方内圆的结构件寓意“立身方正,存心柔善”的立世之本,还通过构件间的圆形转角过渡,在提升审美意趣的同时,将进退之间的哲学,舍得之间的智慧蕴含其中。
Chinese philosophy encourages people “to maintain justice and kindness as principles of life”, which is reflected in the design of shelves in this series. Components are designed as square in the outside yet round in the inner side. By presenting transition of square and round in component design, works reveal better sense of beauty appreciation. Meanwhile, they imply the philosophy of whether to stride forward or to step back, or whether to give something off or to actively achieve something.
设计时,福字多宝阁打破传统家具惯用的几何对称模式,从不对称中构建新的秩序,形成新的审美体系。
Traditional Chinese furniture mainly prepares symmetrical parts in design. Yet designers of Fu (“福”,a Chinese character,indicating good luck and happiness.)-style shelves break such a tradition to seek new order in the asymmetrical layout, thus presenting a new way of beauty appreciation.
福字多宝阁选用来自非洲热带雨林的名贵硬木,采用中国传统榫卯工艺手工制作、打磨,将高尚品质含蓄于家具的每一个细节。
We adopt valuable hardwood of African tropical forests as material for main body of the shelves. We aim to display high quality in details of the works by manufacturing and polishing them with traditional Chinese craftsmanship, namely, a craftsmanship that combines mortise and tenon.
