Appreciation towards HOUR25 for providing the following description:

刨花在家具製作过程中刨木料时刨下来的薄片,多呈卷状,可给回收重製木板，成为另一件家具诞生的原材料。刨花的几何形状成了螺旋长椅的设计灵感。
＜刨花椅＞模彷刨花其卷状的形态，以不同大少及高低，排成刨花椅群，散落于场地之中。

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.

通过精密计算和木块性能测试，将木块𠝹上有间距的坑纹，使平硬的木材软化至可弯曲的程度，刀痕内所剩下的1mm木皮表面使卷状形态得以保持。 螺旋形态经电脑模拟及数学运算，控制切口的宽度，间隔和角度，配合数控鑽床的技术，使传统工艺「kerfing」得以扩展至更精确更多变的弯木製作技巧。刨花椅以群组形式摆放，衬以绿色的地毯，使强硬的木结构更与柔软的质感形成强烈对比。隐蔽的接口让两椅拼凑起来，形成一个多元化的刨花椅装置艺术群。

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.

About HOUR25 PRODUCTION:

HOUR25 PRODUCTION is an independent Hong Kong-based research and design collective working at the 25th hour and beyond to experiment ideas of space and time, and to explore alternative approaches to architecture. Their work is notable for the methodology of experimenting with diverse media and materials which include paper, concrete, electronics, smoke, light and air. This lets them express architectural ideas without the presence of architecture, where the boundaries of the natural, social and artificial are blurred.

HOUR25 PRODUCTION also participated at 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale and Detour 2012: Design Renegade. They are also the core editors for the award-winning publication HOUR25: HKU ARCHITECTURAL PAPERS VOL.1.

2012年成立的HOUR25 PRODUCTION，是香港一个年轻、独立的研究和设计群体。每天工作25小时或以上， 务求通过空间和时间的构思实验，寻找呈现和处理建筑的另类方法。
HOUR25 PRODUCTION善于利用多元的媒介–包括动画、电影、装置艺术及展览活动–及不同的材料–如纸、混凝土、电子零件、烟雾、灯光甚至是空气–去表现建筑的结构及概念。换言之，他们能在没有真正建筑物的情 况下，呈现建筑艺术的美。

HOUR25 PRODUCTION还参加了DETOUR 2012 – Maker’s Fair的摊位设计、2012年「威尼斯艺术双年 展」，成为展出单位之一。同时，他们亦是得奖刊物《HOUR25: HKU
ARCHITECTURAL PAPERS VOL.1》的 主脑。
