*인크레더블 뱀부 스툴 [ Min Chen ] Hangzhou Stool

독특한 디자인은 재료의 물성과 의자 고유의 기능을 확보하기 위한

섬세한 디자인 철학에서 시작한다.

섬유질 방향으로 겹겹이 적층된 0,9mm 내나무 판재는

각기 다른 길이의 값으로 각기 다른 호의 원주율 값으로

각기 다른 탄성값을 갖는 레이어로 구성된다.

이러한 디자인은 재료의 고유한 물성 -탄성, 유연함-을 최대한

의자 기능에 적용하여 새로운 타입의 의자를 탄생시킨다.

The Hangzhou Stool consists of many layers of bamboo veneer of the thickness of 0.9mm. Each veneer again is made of several ultra thin bamboo layers that is aligned vertical to each other according to its natural direction of the bamboo fibres. In such way, each veneer becomes not only very flexible but also robust in all directions.
Each bamboo veneer is different in length. They are bent in an arc shape and glued together at the last 25cm of each end. There is one piece of raw bamboo stick that penetrates in the veneers and combines the two ends of the stool.
The layers of bamboo veneer give a very special “arc” of the stool, just like the ripples on the water surface. When sit, the more weight the stool receives, the deeper the arc will be bent in the center, and therefore the more elasticity the user will feel.
