Description:
WOOD SHAVINGS BENCH is a prototype designed to up-cycle unwanted wood pieces collected from furniture workshop and resurrect them into an assemblage of spatial installation with a radical form. Through careful examination of the dimension and properties of the wood pieces, each of them will be digitally “kerfed”, i.e. a cut into the wood until as thin as 1mm of veneer surface remained which then “soften” the rigid plane of the wood to curl up to as if wood shaved off.
The ruling geometry of the curvature of wood shavings – material thickness and grain direction – becomes the inspiration of the bench design. The spiral form is mathematically controlled by the width, interval and angle of kerfs. The traditional craftsmanship of kerfing technique, in combination with digital simulation, enables the generation of various iteration of “shaved-form” to be fabricated by the precision of CNC machine.
The assemblage demonstrates a family of “wood shavings” lined with green carpets, which gives tactile texture and structural strength to the rolled up wood. The concealed finger joints on both end hold the pieces together to form a diverse configuration resembling scattered wood shavings at the aftermath of workshops.

刨花在家具製作過程中刨木料時刨下來的薄片,多呈卷狀,可給回收重製木板,成為另一件家具誕生的原材料。刨花的幾何形狀成了螺旋長椅的設計靈感。
<刨花椅>模仿刨花其卷狀的形態,以不同大少及高低,排成刨花椅群,散落於場地之中。通過精密計算和木塊性能測試,將木塊𠝹上有間距的坑紋,使平硬的木材軟化至可彎曲的程度,刀痕內所剩下的1mm木皮表面使卷狀形態得以保持。
螺旋形態經電腦模擬及數學運算,控制切口的寬度,間隔和角度,配合數控鑽床的技術,使傳統工藝「kerfing」得以擴展至更精確更多變的彎木製作技巧。刨花椅以群組形式擺放,襯以綠色的地毯,使強硬的木結構更與柔軟的質感形成強烈對比。隱蔽的接口讓兩椅拼湊起來,形成一個多元化的刨花椅裝置藝術群。
