Harmony is a contemporary public furniture inspired by the ancient Chinese Luban lock structure. Its overall structure and design principles draw from the essence of Luban locks, specifically the traditional mortise and tenon joints of woodworking. Through skillful concave-convex combinations, different structural components are tightly integrated, showcasing the profound wisdom of Chinese woodworking culture and imparting unique combinational functionality to the product.
In terms of appearance, the product is deeply inspired by the mortise and tenon structure of Luban locks. The bottom support rail design stems from a thorough observation of Luban lock components, while the geometrically shaped side support columns derive from the variable forms of mortise and tenon structures. These elements, arranged in a staggered manner, imbue the product with a distinctive aesthetic appeal. This design not only enhances the product's visual allure but also increases its practicality and flexibility.
By proportionally modularizing Luban lock components, the product seamlessly combines diverse functional uses of public furniture with recyclability attributes. This combination product serves a triple function: firstly, as urban public seating catering to immediate social interactions, learning, and reading needs in places like schools, cultural venues, and city parks. Secondly, it functions as static exhibits of Luban lock installations, offering opportunities for citizens and students to participate in assembling Luban locks, thereby serving as a tangible medium for experiencing and promoting Chinese traditional culture. Lastly, all parts can be geometrically stored, significantly reducing storage space requirements, and facilitating transportation and packaging.
The product places special emphasis on green design and recyclability attributes. Its modular design facilitates easy reuse, upgrading, maintenance, disassembly for recycling, and disposal after use. This design philosophy not only meets contemporary sustainable development requirements but also enhances the product's utility and lifecycle. Moreover, through its unique combinational functionality and geometric storage design, the product further reduces resource waste and environmental pollution, demonstrating a profound understanding of environmental protection and making a positive contribution towards it.
