Elegance: A Set of Lively and Rhythmic Furniture

Comfortable To Use

Elegance, designed by Wei Jingye and Jiang Tianran, draws inspiration from the texture of wood to create a set of casual furniture that is both lively and rhythmic. With its stainless steel tube frame and wooden surfaces, this furniture combines durability, comfort, and aesthetic appeal.

This set of casual furniture, consisting of a chair and a tea table, stands out with its unique design. The stainless steel tube frame, formed through bending and welding, provides a solid and stable structure that is both durable and cost-effective. The wooden tabletop, chair face, and armrest add a touch of comfort and beauty to the overall design.

What sets Elegance apart is the seamless integration of the stainless steel tube frame and the wooden elements. The rhythmic arrangement of the stainless steel tubes at the back of the chair adds a sense of liveliness and lightness to the furniture. The extension of the stainless steel tubes coincides with the rhythm of the wood edges, creating a harmonious visual effect.

The realization of this design involves a combination of machinery and manual processing. The wood is carefully crafted using numerical control and manual techniques, while the stainless steel tubes undergo bending, cutting, and welding processes. The main materials used in this furniture are stainless steel tubes and Brazilian rosewood, resulting in a sleek and elegant appearance.

Elegance is designed to cater to various purposes, whether it be for the office, study, or everyday life. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable sitting posture, accommodating a variety of sitting positions. The chair's backrest is shaped to fit the contours of the human back, promoting correct posture and making it suitable for activities such as entertainment and reading.

The design project for Elegance began in January 2018 in Shenyang and was completed in June 2018. It was exhibited at the art museum of Shenyang Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts. Throughout the design process, the challenge was to infuse the stainless steel tubes with a sense of liveliness and rhythm, while also enhancing the comfort of the furniture.

Elegance has been recognized for its exceptional design with the Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2020. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Elegance stands out for its integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and its contribution to a better world.
