DARK INK series - design by Yun Zhao-TIWUWORKS
If history is a book, then every page is heavily written with the essence of wisdom that human beings have unrelentingly summed up in order to adapt to the environment. What runs through these papers is the valuable experience and tradition of generations of intelligent predecessors. However, only when we are full of traditional thick ink can we write today and leave the present page for the future. Because only thick ink can penetrate the paper.
The "thick ink series" consists of 6 pieces of solid wood furniture products, namely, the Ding side table and the Ding tea table originated from the pottery age, the Sichuan clothes rack originated from the bronze age, the arch bridge table originated from the stone bridge, the Tianchi porch table originated from the furniture of the Song Dynasty, and the chair originated from the Zigzag chair era. The "thick ink series" is a re creation that combines the current advanced CNC processing technology with the structural characteristics of artifacts of previous eras, that is, to explore the possibility of more solid wood structural forms. CNC machining starts from the surface, and the essence is polishing. Traditional woodworking tools, including mechanical equipment, start from the cutting of materials and are essentially frame structures. In the case of the same material, the processing method has changed, and the structure has the opportunity to develop new possibilities. From the evolution of the shape of artifacts in previous technological eras, designers have found that what remains unchanged is the solid structural rationality based on materials and processes. The "thick ink series" is to find out the underlying logic of rationality in the classic utensils of various times, apply it to the new process, and try to find out the new stable structure in the surface.
From pottery 6000 years ago, bronze 3000 years ago, stone bridges 2000 years ago, wooden furniture 1000 years ago, and laminated furniture 100 years ago, every technological progress brings new ways of using materials, thus promoting further innovation in the structure. Designers hope to find out the evolution law of product form in material change, which is changing and which is unchanged, so as to find out the essence of tradition and then sort out the method of inheriting tradition. In the creative practice of the "thick ink series", the designer realized that when the tradition that has been verified for a long time cannot be avoided, how to use the new possibilities of the current technology to push the tradition forward has become today's responsibility.
The work of the body is a furniture and lighting brand founded by Zhao Yun Studio in Shanghai in 2015.
The work of the body is committed to expressing tradition in contemporary language,
To explore the creation of rational and emotional balance,
Use design to melt the boundaries of culture and time.
