Calligraphy Chair
03 Calligraphy Chair
Art of Objects Elective Class, NYC
Gsapp, Fall The design is inspired by the2016 movement of writing Chinese characters. The different effects (darkness, size) of strokes seem decided by the amount of ink but actually is because of the pressure of the brush and the gesture of holding it, which suggest the writing motion. The design attempts to find a way to transform the strokes into tangible three-dimensional artwork -a rocking chair. The movement of the chair represents the motion of writing, which provides both functional and conceptual way of reading this art piece.
