日本Nendo工作室设计了一套金属家具，该系列由18件家具组成，其表面模拟了水彩画在纸表面勾勒出的效果。

这套家具由椅子，低桌子和高的玄关桌组成，每件作品都被设计成手工切割和折叠的样子。

Japanese studio Nendo has designed an 18-piece metal furniture collection to mimic the bleeding effect of watercolour paint on paper surfaces.
Comprised of chairs, low tables and high console tables, each piece in the Watercolour collection is designed to look as though it has been cut and folded by hand.

每件家具都是不同的蓝色渐变变化，乍一看，就好像是它们已经很自然地浸在家具里了，与水彩画浸透纸张如出一辙。

制造家具的钢框架和表面需经过反复和彻底的打磨，然后涂上底漆，之后是白光漆，用以模仿纸张的外观。

Each furniture piece features various blue, gradiated markings, designed to appear as if they have soaked naturally into the furniture, in the same manner as watercolour permeates paper.
To create the furniture steel frames and surfaces are repeatedly and thoroughly sanded, applied with primer and finished with matte white paint to mimic the appearance of paper.

该家具最后使用手工完成，通过柔软的浆纸轻轻地将两色调的水性油墨涂抹在家具的表面，形成流动的效果。

经过一个反复试验的过程，每一种颜色都是根据其形状和不同的元素创造出来的，与承载它的家具可谓是珠联璧合。

Painted by hand, the bleeding effect is achieved by gently dabbing a mix of two tones of aqueous inks onto the objects with soft pulp paper.
Through a process of trial and error, each colour bleed was created to specifically suit the object it is painted on, in accordance to its shape and different elements.

Nendo工作室的设计师说：“该制作过程让我们有机会接触动画色彩效果：颜色混合在有交集的地方，色彩在瀑布效应中落在多层物体重叠的部分上。

最后，家具的表面涂上具备保护的清漆层，根据工作室的说法，这进一步使家具表面拥有像纸一样的平整度。

"This production process allowed us the opportunity to play with animated colour effects: colour blends where there are meeting points, and stains and colour run down in a waterfall effect on overlapping parts of multi-layered objects," said Nendo.
The objects are then finished with a protective, clear matte layer that, according to the studio, further accentuates their flat, paper-like appearance.

有些设计是把钢板折叠成两半，制造出椅子，而另一些设计是通过用桌腿连接金属表面上放置的孔，制造出多层的桌子，Nendo工作室将这种桌子描述为“椭圆的交集”。

家具的表面由两毫米厚钢板制成，而支撑的钢管直径仅为20毫米。创造出一种“超凡脱俗”的效果和“通风”的外观。

Some designs see sheets of steel folded in half to create chairs and seats and, while others see multiple-layered tables connected by their legs, which pass through "strategically placed" holes in the metal surfaces – described by Nendo as an "intersection of ellipses."
Each two millimetre-thick surface is supported by thin, delicate 20 millimetre steel rods in a bid to create an "ethereal and transcendent" effect, and an "airy" appearance.

Nendo创始人OkiSato说：“我们使用这种功能结合和看似手工制作的技术已经设计出18种家具，它们提供了全新的使用方式。”

他补充说：“每个物体都具有其独特的功能，但通过将家具以不同的变体组合在一起，就创造出了新的关系和有趣的故事。”

"This combination of function and a seemingly handcrafted technique has brought about eighteen new shapes that also offer new ways of use," said Nendo founder Oki Sato.
"A single object has a single function, but by combining the furniture in different variations, we can create new relationships and interesting stories," he added.

这套新家具将由Friedman Benda画廊在迈阿密/巴塞尔设计展上展出（ Design Miami/Basel ），展出时间为今年6月11日至17日，地点为瑞士。

Friedman Benda画廊成立于2007年，它主要展示来自全球各地新兴的当代设计师的作品，这个纽约的画廊最近展出了美国艺术家和设计师 Misha Kahn的15件新的设计作品，其中有五颜六色的珠宝、闪亮的金属和贝壳。

The new furniture series will be presented by Friedman Benda at Design Miami/Basel – which will be held in Switzerland this year from 11 to 17 June – in an installation created by Sato.
Founded in 2007, Friedman Benda presents the work of established and emerging contemporary designers from around the globe. The New York gallery recently showcased 15 new designs by American artist and designer Misha Kahn featuring colourful jewels, shiny metal and sea shells.
