Appreciation towards Scope for providing the following description:

「界」一字代表的可能是有形的地理范围，也可能是指某种观念下所涵盖的无形范畴。而「界」的设计，就是要去挑战既有认知的边界、拓展经验的疆土，也是对既存之物、既存技艺的重新发掘与定义。

「界」发掘当前最新的东方设计观点，并于米兰设计週，三年展设计博物馆中展出。这项计画重新诠释传统东方文化中的工匠技艺，突破传统材料限制的实验性设计。其中包含全面性的竹工艺技术，给竹材质运用带来全新的可能性、加上木材质诠释的新观点、更有石凋塑的戏剧化运用。

五件新作品都由台湾在地工艺家打造，使用在地天然素材，此计画更让概念性的工艺设计可以被生产、被订製，此次的艺术品成为了可商业化的产品。

“Scope” means boundary of geography and boundary of concept. The “Scope” design just challenges the border of cognition and expands the territory of experience. It’s also the new Exploration and definition for existed things and craftsmanship.

“Scope” has noticed the latest oriental design issue and Scope has exhibited in 2013 Milan Design Week in La Triennale di Milano. This project has overcome regional material restrictions and reinterpreted traditional craftwork inspired by oriental beauty. Utilizing natural resources, these five new designs are all handcrafted by Taiwanese craft artists this program unrolls a conceptual design and transformed it as it could be manufacture, customize and commercialize.

Three Generations in One Stool
三代同堂

Traditional Chinese families typically consist of three generations living together, and the family bond is very strong, hence respect towards elders and the passing on of family culture is very obvious. However, due to the change of Taiwan’s social structure, the number of small families are increasing, while the traditional families of three generations under one roof is gradually disappearing.

This design attempts to fit the modern mindset of furnitures that suit large families, stressing the versatility of space utility. It’s similar to Russian dolls, where one stool can be separated into three stools of different sizes, and each of these stools can be further detached into two seats, allowing all members of the family to find a suitable seat of their own.

「三代同堂」是中国传统的典型家户型态,有很强的家族凝聚力,能够落实孝道观念及宗族文化的传承。随着台湾社会结构的改变,小家庭的兴起,传统的三代同堂家庭结构却已逐渐瓦解。

本设计尝试实现符合现代人思维的大家庭观念家具,强调更灵活的空间运用。以类似俄罗斯娃娃的形式，一张鼓凳可分开成为三张不同尺寸的鼓凳，每一张鼓凳又能够分离成为六张椅凳，让老、中、青三代都能够找到合适自己高度的椅凳。

Flow
FLOW is a bamboo chair, which you can sit on and enjoy a lazy afternoon.It is light and free as a cloud, which can give you an easy and relaxing mind.

FLOW是一张竹椅，是一个让你慵懒一下午的位置，它就像一片云那样轻盈、自由、无拘无束，载着你一起放空，一起优閒地飘流。

我对竹最美好的印象是竹林被风吹抚时的弹性、柔软、无拘无束，以竹材去表现风、云、流水等自然现象的流动感，诞生一件充满生命力、感性、动感的家具，它是一股栩栩如生的力量。

Commemorating Dailiness
日常与铭刻

Monuments, milestones, statues, even gravestones, are all made of stones. It’s because lives roll by and vanish, but people hope to retain the transient images and everything represented behind the images, hoping things to be remembered forever.

The combination of daily furniture and stone sculpture at one work represents the implication of displaying “things still alive” and “memorials to passed” at the same time, in remembrance of daily implements, classic forms, and a passed era.

日常生活是流动的，石凋则是将记忆凝结而纪念。此作品并置日常家具与石凋塑。

纪念碑、里程碑、伟人塑像、甚至墓碑，都是石头做的，因为生命会消逝，人们希望保存形象以及形象背后所代表的一切一切，希望被永远怀念。这件作品中同时并置了日常家具与石凋塑，也并置「还活着的生命」与「对逝去的纪念」，是对日常器物的纪念、对经典形式的纪念、对一个过往时代的纪念。

在塑料等等的现代材料大量运用之前，木圆凳的简易结构与材料，使它很长一段时间被大量製作，并深入台湾每个角落的家庭中，它代表了手工艺与日常生活密切结合的最后一个时代。
