中国家具呼吸新鲜空气

Following the nation’s opening up to the West and the economic boom of recent years, Chinese furniture has been more popular than ever before. For young designers from China, their own culture and traditional artisan skills play an important role alongside innovation and sustainability. Modern Chinese design bridges the gap between tradition and global trends. Join us for a look at a selection of furniture and designers to see how this is working.

随着国家之间的边界在我们全球联系的世界中变得模糊，对民族认同的渴望也会增长。来自中国的年轻设计师正在他们的工作中夺取这些对立力量。伦敦的中国设计中心是一个平台，中国设计师可以在中国境外宣传他们的想法和项目，并与国际参与者合作。该中心的目标是克服“中国制造”标签的负面含义，并对该国年轻设计师的丰富文化遗产和创造性潜力创造了新的认识。这在新的解释中尤其明显茶具。The ancient tradition of drinking tea is preserved, while at the same time minimalist elements, dynamic forms and multifunctional design concepts are introduced.

上海，新的国际边境，是建筑师夫妇林登·内里（Lyndon Neri）和罗萨纳·胡（Rossana Hu）的所在地。他们的跨学科设计工作室Neri＆Hu的目标是挑战公约。在此过程中，这座城市的文化，城市和历史背景是重新思考和重新构想空间，质疑习俗并获得新观点的发射台 - 他们适用于他们的设计方法2015年IMM科隆的“ D1Manbetxmanbetx为什么上不去as Haus”。

BUZAO将此实验进一步。同名品牌和工作室代表叛逆的青年，自我意识和无限制的创造力。设计师批判性地参与他们的文化并挑战它。他们的重点是确定设计和功能的材料。因此，桌子不仅是一件家具，而且是安装，实验和展览。

As a global economic power, China also faces the challenge of balancing growth with environmental concerns. Previously an agricultural society using traditional farming methods, the modern industrial nation is now home to countless factories. Young designers from China recognise the need to return to a more natural approach and to design environmentally friendly furniture.sun at Six, for example, produces modern furniture made of sustainable timber and free of nails, screws and non-natural varnishes and paints.

The design studio sources its leather from a family business in Italy. Chinese master joiners build the furniture by hand using traditional skills. This approach not only supports small, mostly local, businesses, but also results in the creation of high-quality, natural furniture that can be easily回到周期at the end of its useful life.

高质量的家具和独家设计应负担得起所有人 - 至少这是中国年轻设计师提倡的理念。例如，中国初创企业Zaozuo在有充分理由的年轻都市人中很受欢迎 - 不仅其家具和配饰是五颜六色的，具有斯堪的纳维亚风格和多功能功能的极简主义者，而且价格也很吸引人。顺便说一句，顾名思义，该公司的创意总监Luca Nichetto来自意大利。欧洲的影响也在the way the furniture is presented。毕竟，Zaozuo不仅在中国而且在世界各地都向千禧一代营销高质量的家具。

设计师来自Urban Craft的Ximi Li还在中国和欧洲之间建立联系。他的许多设计散发着豪华的魅力和舒适意大利家具– which no doubt owes something to his training in Milan. The cosyshanghai Dumpling sofa, on the other hand, was inspired by Shanghai-style wontons. Bringing together the best of both worlds in this way results in unique designs.

Chinese furniture is increasingly inspired by European designs and global trends. At the same time, young designers from China are reflecting on and paying tribute to their cultural roots. Traditional Chinese craftsmanship is experiencing a renaissance, because high standards of design and quality can only be achieved by making things by hand. In addition, there is a focus on openness, air and light in order to keep everything in balance.

在pusu, the strong connection with Chinese aesthetics, craftsmanship and minimalism is very apparent. Chair backs made of vertical rods, and open shelves without panels on the back or sides allow the room to breathe. On the other hand, the upwardly curved tips of elegant towel rails and chairs are reminiscent of the upturned corners of Chinese temple roofs. And the high-quality woodwork is indicative of true craftsmanship. The designs radiate tranquillity and even a certain wisdom – almost as if they want to say that, despite everything that has changed, tradition will endure for a long time to come.

当代中国设计既是国际化的，又是传统的。可持续性，对实验的热情以及专注于优质的人，再加上真正的工艺和数百年历史的传统。乍一看，一些中国家具可能被误认为是斯堪的纳维亚设计的设计，而另一些则非常故意拥抱中国美学。这种独特的风格婚姻不仅反映了中国消费者的偏好 - 它也令人兴奋，并充当中国边界以外的灵感来源。
