斯德哥尔摩家具展会最佳产品：亚麻纤维和生物树脂制成的椅子

日本设计师Jin Kuramoto使用亚麻纤维设计了一款“100%生物椅”。亚麻纤维是一种可生物降解的材料，常用于纸币、茶包和亚麻制品。

Kuramoto为瑞典家具品牌Offecct设计的Jin椅子，将在斯德哥尔摩家具博览会上展出，是该市年度设计周的展品之一。它也被陪审团评为最佳产品，其中，Dezeen主编Marcus Fairs为评审团专家。

Japanese designer Jin Kuramoto has created a "100 per cent biological chair" using flax fibres – a completely biodegradable material that is most commonly used for banknotes, tea bags and linen.
Kuramoto designed the Jin chair for Swedish furniture brand Offecct. They are presenting it at the Stockholm Furniture Fair as part of the city's annual design week, and it was named best product in show by a jury including Dezeen's editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs.

当Offecct品牌向Kuramoto提出使用亚麻纤维材料的要求后，他就开始思考如何设计一把更加坚固的椅子，以往这种材料更多用于轻质产品，如卷烟纸和亚麻织物。

然而，荷兰设计师Christien Meindertsma曾用亚麻材料制作椅子，设计师将亚麻与甘蔗或玉米淀粉制成的可降解聚乳酸混合在一起。

After Offecct proposed the flax fibre material to Kuramoto, he got to work on figuring out how to construct a sturdy chair, as the material is more typically used for lightweight items, such as cigarette rolling papers and linen fabrics.
However, it has been previously used to make chair before – by Dutch designer Christien Meindertsma, who mixed the material mixed with a biodegradable polylactic acid made from sugarcane or cornstarch.

Kuramoto设计了另一种方法，首先将座椅和框架用薄亚麻纤维层预制成型，然后用树脂固化结构。

设计师告诉Dezeen的记者：“这种椅子是用亚麻纤维制成的百分之百生物椅，连它的树脂也是生物树脂，所以可以燃烧，也可进行生物降解。”

Kuramoto devised a method that involves building and shaping thin flax fibre layers on top of each other to form both the seat and frame. A resin is then used to solidify the structure.
"This is a 100 per cent biological chair made by using flax fibre," the designer told Dezeen. "The resin is bio-resin too, so it can be burned and will biodegrade."

Offecct品牌经常与高知名度设计师合作，例如，Jasper Morrison设计的坦桑尼亚孤儿院的木椅，Claesson Koivisto Rune用薄片金属制作的桌子。

这个家具品牌去年被Scandinavian Business Seating公司(现在的Flokk公司)收购,该公司还拥有HÅG、RH、BMA Ergonomics、Malmstolen和RBM一系列品牌。

Offecct frequently partners with high-profile designers to create products. Examples include Jasper Morrison, who designed a wooden chair for use in a Tanzanian orphanage, and Claesson Koivisto Rune, which created a table using thin sheets of metal.
The furniture brand was last year acquired by Scandinavian Business Seating – now known as Flokk –  which also owns product brands HÅG, RH, BMA Ergonomics, Malmstolen and RBM.

Kuramoto的椅子是Offecct实验室推出的最新家具产品，该实验室致力于新材料的研究和开发，用以应对未来潜在的发展趋势。

它提高了人们对可持续性发展的认识，同时，人们也可以从当前许多设计师的工作中看到这一点，例如，在去年的伦敦设计节，Sebastian Cox与研究员Ninela Ivanova合作用蘑菇菌丝体制作的一系列仿绒面家具，而艾恩德霍芬设计学院（Design Academy Eindhoven）的毕业生Billie van Katwijk最近开发了一种转化牛内脏的工艺，通过这种方法可以将其转化为可用于制作工艺品的材料。

Kuramoto's chair is the latest furniture launch to come out of Offecct Lab, which was set up to research and develop new materials in response to potential future trends.
It taps into the increasing awareness of sustainability, which can be seen in the work of many current designers. For instance, Sebastian Cox teamed up with researcher Ninela Ivanova to create a range of suede-like furniture from mushroom mycelium for last year's London Design Festival, while Design Academy Eindhoven graduate Billie van Katwijk recently developed a process for turning bovine guts into a material that can be used to make bags and accessories.

Jin椅子将在斯德哥尔摩家具展上展出，该展览于2018年2月10日结束。同时，还有一个碳纤维椅子，也由Kuramoto设计。

The Jin chair will be on show at the Stockholm Furniture Fair until 10 February 2018, alongside a carbon-fibre version also designed by Kuramoto.
