瑞典Note工作室设计了一组名为Arkad的座椅，乍一看好似建筑的拱门。

这个位于斯德哥尔摩的设计工作室在建筑探索的过程中发现了一系列的设计形式，例如拱门上的穹顶和筒仓。

Swedish collective Note Design Studio has created a collection of poufs called Arkad, which are designed to look like architectural arches.
The Stockholm-based designers explored an array of forms found in architecture, including domes and silos, before settling on arches.

据Note设计工作室的设计师 Malin Engwall介绍，他们在较小的尺度上进行了测试，看看哪一个形式最成功。这不禁他们想起了他们小时候玩过的积木。

Engwall解释说：“当我们把拱门内的空间转换成一个正向的形式时，突然就发现了一个我们喜欢的形状。”

They tested them all at smaller scales to see which would be most successful. According to Note Design Studio designer Malin Engwall, the process reminded them of the way they used to play with building blocks as children.
"We found a shape that we liked when transforming the empty space within an arch into a positive form," explained Engwall.

当这些“正面”拱门被并排放置时，就形成了一个拱廊的形式（arcade）-这就是“Arkad”的名字的由来，它是arcade的瑞典词语翻译。

Engwall认为，简单的拱形给产品带来了动态的感受。同时突出的边缘正好强调了这一点。

Engwall告诉Dezeen的记者说：“在设计的过程中，我们总是寻找一种平衡与动态的结合。几个拱形表达着彼此之间非常和谐，但他们之间同时又有着清晰而有趣的轮廓。”

这套座椅是为家族式家具公司Zilio A&C设计的。它们曾在今年的Salone del Mobile家具展览会上展出，是2018年4月17日至22日米兰设计周的一部分。

这套座椅有三种形式，它们即可以单独使用，也可以作为较大的家具组合使用。由于它们体积小，功能强大，所以适合零售、休息室和住宅使用。

When several of these "positive" arches are placed side by side, they look like an arcade – hence the name of the collection Arkad, which is the translation of the word in Swedish.
According to Engwall, the simplicity of the arch form brings a dynamic quality to the product. This is accentuated by the visible piping that wraps the edges.
"We always look for a combination of balance and dynamics in the sketching process and the expression of several arches next to each other had both something very familiar and harmonic to it, but with a clear and very interesting silhouette," she told Dezeen.
The pouf collection was designed for family-run furniture company Zilio A&C. It was showcased at this year's Salone del Mobile furniture fair, which took place from 17 to 22 April 2018 as part of Milan design week.
Created in three different shape variations, the poufs can be used separately or combined to function as larger pieces of furniture. They are intended for use retail, lounge and residential environments, thanks to their small size and "clear expression".

每个座椅都有木制的内部结构，在顶面和侧面覆盖着不同厚度的高密度聚氨酯泡沫和纺织品，而软垫部分则安装在低斜的木制基座上。

座椅的颜色有蓝色，紫红色，芥末黄色和木炭色。

Engwall说：“因为这套座椅有很好的表现力且很有趣，而多变的颜色又能够增加了它的力量与优雅。”

“我们特意选择了一些质地粗糙的纺织品，这样可以很好地提高家具的拱形。”

Each pouf has an internal structure made from timber, with its top and sides covered in high density polyurethane foam and textile in varied thicknesses. The upholstered parts stand on a low, oblique base in wood.
They are available in blue, burgundy, mustard yellow and charcoal.
"Since the poufs are quite expressive and playful, we wanted to use colours that would add power and elegance to the collection," Engwall added.
"We have chosen a selection of textiles with quite rough textures, which elevates the shape of the arches nicely."

Note设计工作室最近还完成了另一个项目-专为亚洲城市紧凑的居住空间而设计的浴室家具和极简配件，橱柜，灯具和钩子等。
