灼烧软木家具系列丨葡萄牙丨Noé DuchaufourLawrance

灼烧软木

BURNT CORK

2017年夏天，在驾车驶向葡萄牙的途中，设计师Noé目睹了发生在这里的剧烈火灾。这次经历让他久久难忘，引起了深刻的共鸣。原地铸造系列 #02 致敬了葡萄牙软木，是一首对弹性、工匠与制作过程的颂歌。每件家具中都包含并展示了历史的印记。

While moving to Portugal, Noé drove through the dramatic fires of summer 2017. This visceral experience resonated deeply. The second collection of Made in Situ pays tribute to Portuguese Cork, and is an ode to the resilience of material, of people, of process. Each piece of furniture contains and exhibits the marks of its history.

▼系列概览

overview

从灼烧过的粗粝软木到细腻颗粒，从原始质感到令人愉悦的流畅曲线，该系列将二元属性融为一体。废弃的软木在灼烧后变为定制的渐变体块，继而被设计师塑造成富有触感和雕塑感的作品。

From calcined bark to fine grain, from rawness to fluid curves evoking a caress, the Burnt Cork collection plays with dichotomies. Discarded burnt cork is transformed into custom gradient blocks, then carved to reveal a tactile & sculptural creation.

THE COLLECTION

介于粗细之间的软木颗粒以特定梯度渐变，凝结成体块，从结构上赋予设计灵感。该系列的所有作品都展现出自下而上的流动，模拟了从自然灾害到人工曲线的原始渐变，仿佛“凤凰从灰烬中升起”。Noé有目的地保留了颗粒的纯粹形式。在家具底部，较大的颗粒原料直接暴露在外，夹杂着软木烧灼时残留的木炭，将材料本身的DNA呈现在人们眼前。

The blocks are specifically composed in a defined gradient of cork granules between coarse and fine. Their structure gives birth to the design. All the collection flows upwards in the same direction, a raw gradation from natural catastrophe to fluid anthropomorphic curves. “A parallel could be made with the Phoenix rising from the ashes.” Noé purposefully chose to keep the pure form of the granulated block visible as far into the objects as possible. At the bases of the furniture, where the granules are larger and the raw material exposed, the charcoal from the burnt cork is present; this tactility connects directly to the DNA of the material itself.

底座垂直于地面，完美地展现出渐变过程。人们可以从各个角度观察到材料的变化。此外，体块的垂直结构有利于光的显示，光的变化动态地诠释了静止的结构。垂直的底座赋予该系列十足张力，顶面的变化形状则揭示了作品的用途，柔和的曲线吸引着人们与之产生互动。

The bases are vertical, allowing for the best exposure of this gradient. These pieces invite one to experience the material transition at every angle. The distances between the vertical blocks impede or favour the passage of light, a movement ever-present in structure and stillness. This tension in perpendicularity is the expression of the collection. The horizontal culmination of all the pieces reveals their use, softly inviting an interaction with the human body.

椅子

CHAIRS

三把椅子从底座的刚性形状逐渐演变成呼应人体的弯曲曲线。Noé 设计的第一件作品是躺椅，为其他作品奠定了基础，从此出发，休闲椅和座椅的设计逐渐成型。

The  tangible  rigidity  of  the  base  of  each  of  the  3  chairs  morphs  into curved shapes to welcome the body. The first piece that Noé designed was  the  Chaise  Longue;  this  opened  up  the  path  for  the  rest  of  the  collection, evolving  and  morphing  first  into  the  lounge  chair and then the chair.

桌子

TABLES

3张桌子的结构展现出值得玩味的位置关系，横竖构成极具建筑性。从下方粗糙的体块到顶端流动的柔软表面，人们的视觉将与之形成互动。

The 3 tables are a play on positioning, architecturally  juxtaposing  the vertical and horizontal, calling for   a   visual   interaction   with   the  rough  blocks  that  structurally  hold  the  soft  fluidity  of  the  upper-most surface.

凳子

THE STOOL

凳子以三条腿支撑，展现出灼烧软木的清晰肌理到有机曲线顶面的过渡。凳子是该系列中最小的一件作品，将设计的精髓尽数体现。

Perched  on  three  legs,  the  stool morphs  gradually  from  visible  bur- nt  cork  into  an  organic  top.  The  smallest   piece   of   the   collection  is  probably  the  one  that best crys- tallizes the essence of the collection.
