Sam Stewart为纽约公寓的住户设想了一款家具

美国设计师Sam Stewart为“人类等物种”制作了一个穿着塑料护套、形如棍子的椅子、一张兼具床与餐桌功能的混合椅和一张长凳，这些家具放置在纽约画廊Fort Gansevoort的一个空间内 。

Cryptid展览设置在Fort Gansevoort住宅的一个房间里。

American designer Sam Stewart has created stick chairs dressed in plastic sheaths, a bed-dining table hybrid and a bench press for a "person or creature" that might inhabit a space at New York gallery Fort Gansevoort.
The Cryptid exhibition is set up in a room above Fort Gansevoort's home in the Meatpacking district.

由于将展览区归入住宅区，并且配备了厨房和浴室，Stewart选择将展览布置为虚拟业主的生活空间。

“我想象了一下业主的职业或兴趣，这对于更深入的探索很有帮助。”Stewart告诉Dezeen记者。

Due to the zoning of the exhibition space as residential, already complete with a kitchen and bathroom, Stewart chose to organise the show like a living space for a fictional client.
"I had to imagine the occupation or interests of the person occupying the apartment, which ended up becoming a more inward search," he told Dezeen.

沿着拱形壁炉上方的壁橱，是一个以虚拟业主的3D肖像创作的粘土雕塑。

“陶瓷碎片是那个客户的雕塑作品。”Stewart告诉Dezeen记者，“它们没有耳朵，并且也没有明显的特征，并且很快就能制造出来了，同时我也不想深入思考这是个什么东西。”

Along the mantlepiece above an arched fireplace are a clay sculptures created as 3D portraits of the imaginary inhabitant.
"The ceramic pieces are sketches of that client," Stewart told Dezeen. "They don't have ears, their features are not too specific. They were quickly made, because I didn't want to think too deeply about who this person/creature/whoever would be."

除了其中一块地板采用奶油白色外，房间其余部分铺上了红色的地毯。

“感觉这些家具需要不同的舞台去展示它们自己。”Stewart说，“我喜欢参考哥特式的风格和使用带有宗教仪式感的红色，而高背椅和拱形假壁炉可以很好地运用这些元素。”

A red carpet covers the majority of the flooring, aside from a cream-coloured area under one of the pieces.
"The work felt like it needed a different staging," said Stewart. "I liked the reference to the gothic and religious red, with the tall-back chairs and the arched fake fireplace lent itself to that."

这对高背座椅的设计与传统的阿巴拉契亚式椅子（Appalachian chairs）相似，但在Stewart成长的北卡罗莱纳州（North Carolina），这里的工匠使用的是幼树枝条，布局比平时要松散许多。

设计师用丙烷火炬烧焦木材，然后用一个半透明的塑料包裹着整个椅子，椅子的背面有可以将塑料层打开的拉链。

The pair of high-backed seating designs are made like traditional Appalachian chairs, typical of where Stewart grew up in North Carolina, using clusters of sapling sticks but in a much looser arrangement than normal.
The designer charred the wood with a propane torch, then wrapped each construction is a translucent plastic cover that is piped around the edges and zips open at the back.

在设计中使用炭烧木材，最突出的是餐桌的顶部。一张床包裹着白色皮革，位于桌面的下方，这两件家具组合在一起，相互制约，彼此衬托出不真实的氛围。

枫木饰面采用的是树枝上如肿瘤般凸起的木块，然后将它们切片而成，它们是这个卡通般长凳的重要部分。

Burled wood crops in several of the designs, most prominently as the top of a dining table. A bed wrapped in tufted white leather slots underneath the table top, but each renders the other impractical.
The burled maple veneer – created from slices through the gnarled tumour-like growths found on some trees – also forms the "weights" of a cartoonish bench press.

据Stewart介绍，虽然杠铃的两端都是弯曲的，但举重器械的设计看起来相当真实。长凳上覆盖着绗缝不锈钢，而圆柱形元素则构成了框架。

Fort Gansevoort还将于2018年3月9日至11日在本年度的集体设计展（Collective Design fair）上展示 Stewart的一系列类似的主题作品。

Although the barbell is curved at each end, the weightlifting apparatus is designed to look fairly true to form, according to Stewart. The bench is covered in quilted stainless steel, while textured cylindrical elements make up the frame.
Fort Gansevoort is also presenting series of similar workout-themed pieces by Stewart at this year's Collective Design fair, from 9 to 11 March 2018.

在Cryptid系列中，还有一个古铜色皮革软垫落地灯，从垂直的柏油灰底部到顶部的水平处都呈现弯曲形态。

在小厨房的入口处，Stewart安装了黄色塑料窗帘，这种窗帘传统上用于肉类储存设施，这种做法曾经在曼哈顿盛行一时。

Also in the Cryptid collection is a girthy leather-upholstered floor lamp, which curves from vertical at its burled-ash base to horizontal at the top.
At the entrance to the small kitchenette, Stewart installed yellow citronella-infused plastic curtains traditionally used at meat storage facilities – such as those that used to dominate this area of Manhattan.

在两个空间的中间位置，跑步机基座逐渐升高，其控制面板安装在墙壁旁边。启动时，皮带轻轻拖动黄色襟翼，为展览增添声音和动感。

“在概念层面上，这代表了饮食、睡眠、购物、行为想象的模式。”Stewart说。

Cryptid系列作品将在第九大道5号Fort Gansevoort展出，展出时间截止至2018年3月24日。

Halfway between the two spaces, a treadmill base is elevated on a plinth, with its control panel is mounted on the wall beside. When turned on, the belt gently drags the yellow flaps to add sound and movement to the exhibition.
"On a more conceptual level, this represents the rituals and patterns of eating, sleeping, shopping, body image," Stewart said.
Cryptid is on show at Fort Gansevoort, 5 Ninth Avenue, until 24 March 2018.
