Den Design

Iwwer Cenear Bänk

D'Cenear Bänk huelt hir Inspiratioun aus de graziéisen Kuurven an der räicher Ierfschaft vun Téigäert a fusionéiert nahtlos zäitgenëssesch chinesesch Miwwelelemenenter mat enger Hommage un d'historesch Kultur. Entwéckelt fir oppen Kommunikatioun ze fërderen, weist se e mëllen Këssensëtz, deen un engem Holzgestell befestegt ass, begleet vun zwee verschiddefaarweg geformte Këssen fir adaptéierbare Komfort. D'Bänk entsprécht dem modernen Benotzer säi Virgesiicht fir personaliséiert Sëtzconfiguratioune, mat geschwongene Sektiounen an ënnerstëtzende Réckeleinen, déi entspaant an engagéierend Gespréicher fërderen.

Produktiounstechnologie: The final prototype was made of black walnut. In addition to using a CNC machine to shape the curvature, the wood frame was further hand-sanded for a smooth texture. The upholstery utilized foam cushions sewn with Microsuede fabric, providing a nice contrast.
Design Erausfuerderung: In crafting the Cenear Bench, designers faced the challenge of harmonizing comfort with cushions of various shapes. They undertook surveys and interviews with users to discern their requirements, leading to the incorporation of two differently colored shaped cushions affixed to the black walnut wood frame. The bench's elegant, contemporary design appeals to a wide range of users, providing stability, harmony, and an interactive feature that can enhance the comfort of all users.
Fuerschung: After conducting a series of surveys, in-depth interviews, and design research, alongside 1-to-1 scale mockups, it became evident that contemporary users have distinct preferences for seating arrangements tailored to different activities. In response, the Cenear Bench was developed to facilitate casual conversation while offering a distinctive and inviting user experience. With its curved seating sections and supportive backrest, it encourages users to engage comfortably in conversation. This research-driven approach sets the Cenear Bench apart from others.
Inspiratioun: The tea garden, with its curves and evocative history, served as the initial inspiration for the Cenear Bench. The goal was to blend modern Chinese furniture concepts with a tribute to historical Chinese culture. This inspired the incorporation of ancient tea garden curvature into the design of the back support. This created a unique, modern bench that also evokes the past.
Projetdauer: The project began in September 2018 in Pasadena, California, and was exhibited at ICFF in May 2019. The Cenear Bench, in its current form, has undergone several design changes since 2018 and was finalized in 2023.
Operatiounsablaf: The Cenear Bench is designed to create a welcoming space for two people to openly communicate. The soft cushion seat is attached to the wooden bench. Two differently colored shaped cushions allow users to sit in various postures and still feel comfortable. This innovative sectional seating transforms the bench into a relaxed and open conversation seating experience. The interaction between the user and the bench creates a more interactive and warm atmosphere with the curvature of the seating.
