Layers (for Kavadrat)

Layers
I want to create gentle, soft furniture. By using multiple layers of textile to accumulated thickness, I have transformed parts of hard furniture into something soft. The role of the drawer as a container made me think imaginatively about different kinds of containing objects, such as a bag, pocket, wallet, kangaroo’s pouch, bed and so on. I thought that it could be interesting if I transformed the container within the wooden table into a soft component, and gently connected the two elements by sewing, to make a strong contrast between wood and textile. The wooden part is hard, rational and clear, while the textile part is soft, sensual and blurry. The layers of textile also offer a special edge, just like the pages of a book, which is very attractive to the hands. Presented within one tactile item is the contrast between soft and hard, clear and blurry, rational and sensual.

Layers
成立自1968年的丹麥織品大廠Kvadrat，是不少知名家具家飾品牌的合作夥伴。今年他們找來19位來自世界各地的設計師，以他們的Canvas 2新布料進行創作，我做了名為Layers的軟家具，嘗試將木與織品做極端的對比並置，木是精準、堅固、光滑的，織品則是朝截然不同的方向表現，柔軟、捲曲、不修邊幅。我這三隻頭毛很亂的小犬，正要跟著Kvadrat到各地巡迴，第一站是英國倫敦設計節，汪汪。
