'LUC' chair by böttcher+henssler


The Berlin based designers böttcher+henssler recently completed this elegant stackable multi-purpose chair. ‘LUC’ is composed of two bands, a flat wide one made from bent 2mm aluminum sheet – it forms the backrest and seat. And another one made from steel tube, which provides the base.

“Both parts are fixed “invisible” like a sandwich. So it appears as if the seat is hanging and that seat and backrest are made out of one piece. For the comfort seat and backrest are upholstered with deep-drawn PET-felt in different colours”, the designers explain.

Steffan Holm:燕尾榫桌子






燕尾榫(dovetail joint)是一种简单而古老的连接木头的方式。瑞典的设计师Steffan Holm不用任何钉子或者螺丝,而是通过这种梯形截面形如燕尾的榫卯处理,将桌腿和桌面巧妙连接起来,形成这款美丽的桌子。

在桌面下开一道倒梯形槽,然后把桌腿插进去

2011 Volkswagen Jetta

这个在中国最普遍的名字终于也蜕变了。这次大众对旗下各个级别车型的升级改造之力度是前所未见的,统一的设计语言贯彻始终,买一台低端车也买到了高端车的设计语言,以及整个品牌的影子。做到这点在大公司是很难得的,设计需要得到极强的重视,设计总监的水平要求极高,设计师内部也要高度统一。

TobeUs:可以代代相传的木头玩具车

TobeUs - Limited edition-06|yupoo.com
TobeUs木头玩具车的创意来自意大利著名设计师Matteo Ragni,为此他引述了Bruno Munari的一句名言:“玩乐是一件严肃的事情(playing is a serious matter)。”Matteo Ragni认为产自东方国度的玩具太便宜,两三个来回就支离破碎了。因此他决定用坚硬耐用的黎巴嫩雪松(cedar wood from Lebanon)制作车,表面不用喷漆,拥有美妙的纹理和香味。http://smartwoodhouse.blogbus.com/logs/65344855.html

荣耀属于The Chair - [家具]



在英文语境中,名词前面如果加定冠词“The”,那是表示宇宙间唯一的事物,比如太阳可以称为“The Sun”,月亮叫做“The Moon”。
而在家具的世界中,只有椅子大师汉斯-瓦格纳(Hans Wegner 1914~2007)设计的圆椅获得了这个尊称,荣耀属于The Chair。 

The Chair的前世今生
汉斯-瓦格纳的一生创作了500多款椅子,被称为“椅匠中的椅匠”。在他众多设计中,The Chair是最为重要的作品。The Chair最早的名字是圆椅(The Round Chair),当1949年它最初在丹麦公开问世,并没有马上受到青睐,直到1950年登上美国室内杂志(Interior)封面,才逐渐出名,被誉为世界上最漂亮的椅子。后来更因为肯尼迪(John Kennedy)总统坐过而声名大噪,从此荣登世界名椅之列。1960年大选肯尼迪与尼克松(Richard Nixon)在电视辩论,主办单位因为考虑到肯尼迪的背疾,于是就选这款椅子作为辩论会场的座椅。
瓦格纳之所以称其为圆椅(The Round Chair),是因为椅子的基本造型圆润平滑,整个设计没有锐角存在。后来的名称The Chair是来自英语系国家拥戴者的赞美,他们为这件设计着迷,竟然给Chair加上定冠词,从此让这款椅子独享荣耀。
The Chair目前由丹麦的PP公司生产,在2009年哥本哈根气候峰会上,它再一次大放光彩。

Getting space-saving furniture right: Resource Furniture

Getting space-saving furniture right: Resource Furniture: "





These days people bandy the term 'space-saving' about in hopes it will make their product more attractive to us city dwellers, particularly since there are now more of us than there are rural dwellers. But much of the supposedly space-saving furniture I've seen merely transforms from one thing to another, often in a very clumsy way; to me those objects do two things poorly rather than one thing well, and their novelty outweighs their functionality.


One company I've found that truly 'gets' space-saving is New-York-based Resource Furniture, which distributes Italian brand Clei and other European furniture manufacturers. (You probably recognize the name Clei from their much-blogged orange couch that transforms into bunk beds.) The products Resource Furniture offers have a high level of design and engineering, with no compromises; there are no lumpy futon mattresses or 'Grab lever A while holding switch B, then pull lever C' complications. The engineering is completely invisible, as it ought to be, the transformations do not require science backgrounds to execute, and each piece serves each of its dual functions as well as if it were a standalone. On top of that, they look good.


As seen up top, Ron Barth, President of Resource Furniture (along with Trade Account Manager Challie Stillman) took some time out to give Core77 a personal showroom demo. I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite out of all the stuff they showed us, but that hydraulic desk at 3:07 and the mind-blowing cabinet at 5:38 would probably make top of the list!

2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo 2uettottanta Spider

不明白为什么车身设计中总有那么多特征线(character line),以BMW为例,好像这种线越多就越能体现其运动性能。不过看久了不免有些乏味,觉得不够精炼。产品设计中有个规律,看起来越复杂的往往不能长久,越是简单的越是能持久下去(timeless)。我觉得汽车也是,上图中这台Alfa就是个难得一见的佳作,尽管只是概念车而已。几条简练的特征线摆脱了平庸,又体现了品牌特征,其简练线条的设计比复杂线条的更难能可贵!

Ann Van Hoey


一张平面折成一个形体,这种多用于折纸的造型方法被比利时陶瓷艺术家Ann Van Hoey运用到了陶瓷艺术中
第一眼就喜欢上了这个作品。之前也看过一些利用陶瓷来模仿其他材质如纸张等的作品,大多数仅仅停留在模仿的阶段,并不耐看。这个作品的不同之处在于它不是简单的模仿,如上图中的这个碗是不可能用一张纸折叠而成的,但她又汲取了折叠的感觉,还保留了瓷器特有的圆润。我觉得是设计师对于形态的想象力加上精湛的工艺成就了这个作品。

时间的步调

决定把博客的名字改回这个"时间的步调",并把以前的文章转进来。这是我的第一个博客的名字, 源自于看过的一个动画片《高桥留美子短篇集》中的一篇. 女主角在学生时代送给男主角的"白书"里写道:


时间的步调是三重的,
未来踌躇着慢慢地接近;
现在像箭一样飞快逝去;
过去则永远驻留在那里.


最终我也不知道这几句话出自那位诗人,不过觉得这个人对时间的诠释角度还是很有意思的。
