De Mua Lau Cathedra Otiosa

Cum mundus cum rapida exhaustione naturalium copiarum confligit, artifices contemporanei magis magisque in materialibus sustinendis investigandis occupati sunt. Unum exemplum est Cathedra Mua Lau, quae inspirationem trahit ex dilecto cibo Taivanensi, textura sua distinctiva nota: exteriore crispo et interiore molli masticabilique. In hac cathedra sedere simile est transportari ad serenam silvam bambusae, dum lenis aura corpus perflet, profundiorem cum natura coniunctionem fovens.

Proprietates Singulares
The Mua Lau is named after a traditional Taiwanese snack which is crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The chair is designed to provide users with a multi-layered sitting experience that is also crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, similar to biting into a piece of Mua Lau.
Dimensiones et Involucrum
Width 800 mm x Depth 800 mm x Height 800 mm
Notulae
Bamboo, lounge chair, craft, modern, style
Technologia Productionis
The seat is woven using traditional bamboo weaving techniques, using only 12 long bamboo strips to achieve the required size. The double-tube structure inside the seat cushion simulates the effect of double-layer springs, providing a comfortable sitting experience that is firm yet cushioned.
The legs are made of metal elbows that are bent to the desired shape, cut to size, manually welded by a master, and finished with a surface texture that simulates cast iron. The surface is also treated with a thickening agent and powder baking paint for added durability.
Provocatio Designandi
We use the traditional bamboo lady's techniques to form the chair's structure that can support the weight of the human body. However, in terms of material design, the traditional method alone is not strong enough to bear the weight, so we conducted various tests on the material's thickness, length, and other properties. After several iterations, we discovered the optimal size and thickness of the material, allowing us to achieve the unique sitting experience we envisioned.
Investigatio
In this era of rapid depletion of resources, rediscovering sustainable materials is a top priority for modern designers. For this reason, the design chose to rediscover the disappearing bamboo craft, which only takes 3 to 5 years to mature. Bamboo craft is a traditional craft that has been passed down since ancient times. However, after the large-scale introduction of plastic products into daily life, the cheap and mass-produced alternatives quickly replaced bamboo craftsmanship, leading to the decline of the entire industry in Taiwan.
Inspiratio
Mua Lau challenges artisans to forge new paths in their craft, to develop novel applications for existing techniques, to bring craftsmanship to life, and to rediscover the connection between humans and materials. Bamboo craftsmanship, in particular, breaks through traditional applications to unlock new possibilities. By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern industry, artisans can infuse modern oriental style with the warmth of their hands and the precision of mechanical manufacturing.
Duratio Operis
The project started in July 2022 in Taiwan , completed in February 2023, first debut in March and will exhibit in Young Designers Exhibition Yodex in World Trade Center, Nangang exhibition hall, Taipei in May 2023.
Cursus Operationis
Imagine sitting in a lounge chair that gives you the feeling of being in a bamboo forest, with the breeze gently blowing over your body, allowing your mind to integrate with nature and find a moment of tranquility in our noisy world.
