Appreciations towards OKHA for providing the following description:

这次的碳系列设计包括六个作品，分别为：黑雨，高压，规则与失控，Mondo，岩石雕塑，Omega V。这些作品延续了Okha的设计理念，对调和的美学提出质疑，呈现出一种非对称、不平衡、难以预测的状态，引发思想和心灵之间的丰富对话。

In keeping with Okha’s enquiring design philosophy, the Carbon Collection comprises six objects which challenge preconceptions of structure, beauty and imagined realities: Black Rain, High Voltage, Law & Disorder, Mondo, Rock Sculpture & Omega. These six designs bring into question aesthetic conformity and the presupposed need for order and equi-balance. Contrary to the accepted norms of balance and symmetry, these designs revel in asymmetry and a non-conformist provocation where form is unpredictable, non-uniform and beauty a multi-lingual dialogue between mind and heart.

“Mondo”咖啡桌是一个矛盾的拼图，水平的和垂直的超薄钢型材看似杂乱无章地组合在一起，形成了两个完全中心对称的方形。支撑构件沿对角线设置，同时呈现出平衡、失稳、无序、对称等相互矛盾的特征。

The elegant Mondo Coffee table is a paradoxical puzzle. The seemingly discordant composition of vertical and horizontal wafer-thin steel profiles fuse together to create two perfectly concentric and symmetrical squares. The vertical supports are diametrically opposed only visually revealing one pair of supports at a time. It is balance and imbalance, random and systematic.

“岩石雕塑”的表面由反复无序排列的切面组成，让人不禁想到自然中那些介于秩序和无序之间的结构，如结晶体等。

Chantal Woodman’s Rock Sculptures are pure sculptural works which reiterate the randomisation (or perhaps intuitive) arrangement of the facet evident throughout the collection. Rock Sculptures evoke fossilised crystal formations, they remind us of the structural order and disorder embedded in nature.

在“规则与失控”作品中，设计师也采用了出人意料的比例和组织变化。从上面看，三条不锈钢支腿围成了一个完美的正三角形，和谐统一。而从侧面看，人们会惊讶地发现三条支架以不同的角度向外伸出，毫无平衡可言。

Similarly, each new perspective of Law and Disorder reveals unexpected proportional and compositional changes. When viewed from above the 3 stainless steel legs and drum-shaped shade form a balanced and harmonious encircled triangle with a likeness to the universal modelling structures of fractals and elements in perfect orbit. In profile Law and Disorder surprises and confuses as the three vertical flanges of the base jut out at seemingly disproportionate and irregular angles.

“高压”的外形模仿高压线铁塔，灯光透过穿孔灯罩形成独特的阴影。喷粉钢条作为支撑梁，按照对角线排布。当人们围着灯走动时，第二组钢条会逐渐出现在视野中，与第一组交织成菱形图案。黑色的材料进一步突显了其纯粹的形式和图形价值。

High Voltage replicates the form of a pylon, its perforated lamp shade texturing and filtering light. Powder coated steel bars run diagonally and form supportive beams. As one moves around the lamp, a second set of bars becomes visible, cross etching the first. As with all the designs in the Carbon Collection, black is the chosen colour, the emphasis being on pure form, graphic expressionism and absolute values.

“黑雨”也许是这个系列中最富有意味的作品。它是一面与众不同的镜子，由凹进凸出的多个面组成，如同错动的大陆板块。它告诉人们一切都在运动之中，有时微不可察，有时剧烈难当。而随着人们观察角度的不同，会看到不同的景象。

Possibly the most profound work in the Carbon Collection is Black Rain. A mirror quite unlike any other, multifaceted recessed and extended shafts of mirror replicate sculpted and shifting tectonic plates and evoke shafts of harsh winter BLACK RAIN. Nothing is static, everything is in a state of flux, shifting, sometimes imperceptibly, sometimes cataclysmically and in life as with the Carbon Collection our perceptions depend upon the angle from which we are viewing from.

“Omega V”电视柜中，黑色的碳表面刻以垂直线条，仿佛令人陷入沉思的魔咒。橡木框架和黄铜支腿则是在向Art Deco风格致敬。

The sixth element in the Carbon Collection is the Omega V console. Vertical lines carved into a carbon black finish reference a mantra of meditative minimalism. The solid oak timber frame and stepped solid brass legs pay homage to the architectural inspiration of Art Deco.
