37 is a piece of functional art furniture that blends design and practicality. Made from 37 pieces of eco-friendly birch plywood, it highlights the natural beauty of the wood’s grain and color variations. The inspiration behind the design comes from the human body’s most comfortable temperature, 37°, symbolizing the designer’s focus on “warm relationships” and “real-life states.” It brings warmth, authenticity, and beauty together in a functional piece. By stepping away from traditional furniture shapes, 37 creates something unique, with emotional warmth and visual balance, allowing users to feel a genuine, calm, and understanding atmosphere in their everyday lives. The design has smooth, soft contours and gentle lines, with an array structure that adds a sense of order. This layout enhances the gaps and breathability between the materials, giving it a light and spacious feel. It encourages people to stop and take in the warmth that the details convey. The design also focuses on ergonomics, balancing comfort, artistic creativity, and environmental friendliness. Throughout the making of 37, attention is given to the arrangement of the wood pieces, the tension of the seams, and the overall visual rhythm. Each piece is carefully crafted by hand, showcasing unique wood textures and layers that bring the piece to life, changing its character with the play of light and shadow.
