How do you choose furniture without being thunderous? The designer used this chair to tell you

Whether you ask the designer or do their own decorating, selecting furniture is a considerable test of beauty, decorating novice is the most afraid of a step wrong step are wrong, and finally spent the money to buy only regret, so I especially invited to the Ersatz space design Chen Rongsheng Edwin designers to teach you to select the furniture know-how, as long as followed by the selection, it will be able to go quite a lot of the wrong way Luo!

Q1. What is the first step in selecting furniture?

If you're decorating your own home and picking out your own furniture, you'll want to observe the hard work of your home first, such as the colors and materials, and you'll want a Scandinavian style. Modern style? The first thing you need to do is to look at the hardwoods, the colors and the materials. Inside must have a clear style and then go to work for the furniture selection, you can refer to magazines, Internet pictures, find similar styles to imitate, and see more designers are how to match.

If you decide to hand over to the designer to deal with, the designer will usually depending on the overall atmosphere of the space, to the owner of the furniture proposal, from the surface of the picture so that homeowners understand the effect of collocation, so if you can not get the idea or their own sense of aesthetics do not have confidence, then it may be worthwhile to let go to the professional to! Designers are usually more knowledgeable than homeowners about various brands and styles, and can even find some rare special items, which is important for homeowners who aspire to be different.

Q2. What are the characteristics of designer furniture?

Whether it's a living room, dining room, or bedroom, you need a focal point to bring out the meaning of the design of the space, so a piece of furniture with a sense of design can bring focus and soul to the space. For me, the so-called design furniture is not to be very avant-garde and popular, but to be classic and not out of fashion. The value of the classic models in the future may become higher and higher, and they can be used for a long time, and I believe that the furniture applicable to each era is the so-called "furniture with design".

Q3. Is expensive, famous furniture always good?

This part is a matter of opinion, like some people think that the sofa is the main character of a home, it must be very trendy, very distinctive, will be willing to spend a little bit more budget, but I think, too trendy design is easy to fall out of fashion, the price is also high, so that after a few years of use will have to be replaced, but the pity is that, to buy furniture should be to all-round consideration, to meet their own preferences and also in line with the utility of the purchase of furniture, this is the necessary furniture purchase

If you have to pick a more expensive, better quality furniture, I would choose a single chair, like I said earlier, "classic" design, in fact, the use of a single chair in the space is very symbolic, and it is a very special existence, both the protagonist and able to be a supporting role in the overall spatial balance of a pivotal position.

Q4. In addition to designing space, should designers also design furniture? The following is an interview with Chen Rongsheng, designer of Ersheng

Not every designer needs to be able to design furniture, in fact, the design of furniture spans the fields of industrial design, architecture and structural mechanics, etc. Designers who like to study this aspect of the knowledge will naturally develop their own design works.

The chair I designed is called the Rex Solo Armchair, inspired by my favorite Danish classic, the Finn Juhl Chieftain's Chair (eventually named the Chieftains Chair), which was conceptualized as a chair used by a chieftain when he was young, before he made his fortune. It is a chair with a wide seat surface that narrows as it goes inward. Because I come from the architecture department, I have always had a sense of the structure of objects, and for this chair, I refer to the Truss truss system of architectural structure, with the triangular periphery and support forming the skeleton of this chair, which also makes it the main appearance of the chair, and the main structure of the side passes through the neckrest, forming a spiritual representation of the head.

Q5.What is the process of making Rex Solo Armchair?

At the beginning, it was an activity initiated by the Taiwan Institute of Technology, hoping that designers could combine their craftsmanship with that of traditional industries. We teamed up with a few designers to work with Yung Hsing Wood, a company known for its mahogany furniture, to create a new chair design that combined the wood that was often used in the early days, and it took a year of time from the first draft, through the remodeling to the completion of the chair, before we successfully made one Rex Solo Armchair in beech and one in walnut. Armchair, Rex Solo Armchair with avant-garde design ideas, and the use of traditional technology to complete, to encourage the traditional industry can also come out of a new road, in fact, quite meaningful.

Q6. Will there be an extension of this chair in the future? What is the experience of this design?

"The design period took longer than I expected because I underestimated the depth of product design (laughs). I originally thought that the chair was feasible as long as it was calculated using structural mechanics, but I didn't realize that in addition to the triangular structure of the chair, the chair also involved load-bearing capacity, height, and tilt, etc. Therefore, every time I found a problem, I had to start the whole body to make drastic revisions, and the engineering drawings of the chair alone were published in about four editions. Although the design of this chair is both brain burning and repetitive, but the process is extremely interesting, Rex Solo Armchair chair is still 1.0 version, the next step I hope to optimize the details into a 2.0 version, the future has the opportunity, may also be developed into a dining table and chairs, bed frames, footrests and other extension of the design, to make a complete series, and even mass production.
