2023年6月8-11日，KUNDESIGN在2023「设计上海」1号馆A32展位带来一场生动的户外探索之旅。展览借由“自然与游历”的灵感，从户外家居的角度，表达对不同地域的风貌、人文、动植物等事物的观察与思考。同时，在旅途的漫游、停顿、遐想与探索中，赋予未来户外生活更多可能性。
From June 8 to 11, 2023, KUNDESIGN brings a vivid outdoor voyage at Booth 1A32 Design Shanghai. The wanderings, pauses, reveries, and explorations of the journey give more possibilities to life. Therefore, inspired by nature and travel, the exhibition uses outdoor design to express the observation and thinking on the landscape, culture, animals, and plants of different regions.
自然与旅行的灵感启迪

“旅行是一种颇为有益的锻炼，心灵在旅行中不断的进行新的未知事物的活动。”法国作家蒙田写道，他认为“旅行”并不是为了完成某个目标而存在的，更重要的是一种体验和感受，以及思想与情感方面的收获。而这些文艺复兴时期有关“旅行”的讨论，也为KUNDESIGN带来遥远却又切实的启示：无论是异国他乡的真实旅行，还是思绪幻游的短暂静止，适当的“停留”叠加随机的“探索”，将是一切变化的开始。
KUNDESIGN将这一领悟融入新品研发与展位设计之中。不同于以往强调环境色彩的丰富性，此次A32展位采用自然肌理作为背景，广袤的沙色、热烈的红与原木纹理，令人联想到迷人的北非花园摩洛哥。装配弧形遮阳帆帘、木纹格栅的Pavilion凉亭，融入了更多功能性，在比例结构与色彩均进行了新的升级，制造出沉浸的度假氛围，为观众提供了能够持续停留的空间。可供多人使用的Lotus中柱椭圆长桌，强调一种“非临时性”的户外状态，鼓励下午茶、户外餐宴等日常“停顿”。空间中，热烈的“红”来自全新系列Wings，该系列包含沙发、旋转座椅及灯饰产品，松弛舒适、具有互动性的特征，一样传递出“停驻”的概念。
'Travel is in my opinion a very profitable exercise, the soul is there continually employed in observing new and unknown things...'French writer Montaigne wrote that he believed ‘travel’ is not to achieve a goal, but more important is a kind of experience and feeling, as well as the harvest of thought and emotion. These Renaissance discussions of travel also bring to KUNDESIGN a distant but tangible lesson: whether it's a real trip to a foreign land or a transient pause in a fantasy, a proper ‘stay’ combined with random ‘exploration’ can be the beginning of all changes.
2023设计上海- Outdoor Voyage 户外探索之旅
Outdoor Voyage
旅行中，随时随地的停留与想象，视觉内容的交织与酝酿，促使思维的探索。展会上，首次推出的Lotus户外多功能岛台，即表达了这种拓展和延伸。它为开放式的户外餐厨场景而设计，集合操作台、储物、迷你冰箱、水槽、台面冰桶、照明等功能。中岛的一端，以具有造型感的中柱作为支撑，在规矩的体块中融入弧线造型，表现优雅、独树一帜的气质。此外，手工编织的新款Core灯饰系列，也以植物果核与种子为灵感，表达随风散落、自由停留的旅行故事。它选用环保太阳能灯源，结合100%防水材料、特殊结构设计与编织，延续了“户外自循环”的理念，保证防水、防腐户外属性的同时，在风格、技法、材质等设计细节上尝试更新。在一次次“户外探索之旅”中，不同单品与系列经由KUNDESIGN的场景提案，激发着使用者于日常汲取“灵感”的本能，从而构想具有丰富个人色彩的户外生活体验。
KUNDESIGN takes this insight into outdoor design. Instead of emphasizing the richness of environmental colors, booth 1A32 uses natural textures as a backdrop reminiscent of Morocco, a charming North African garden. The outdoor Pavilion with its curving sail curtain and wooden-grain grille, creates an immersive resort atmosphere and provides a space for the audience to stay. The Lotus long Table with a mid-column for multiple users encourages daily ‘breaks’ such as afternoon tea and outdoor dinner. And the warm ‘red’ comes from the new Wings Series, which includes the sofa, swivel chair, and lighting products, also expressing the relaxed, comfortable, interactive features, conveying the concept of stay.
Things interweave and promote the exploration of thinking, that’s travel, anytime anywhere stay, and imagination. The 2023 new design of KUNDESIGN presents this expansion and extension. Such as Lotus Outdoor Function Island designed for the outdoor kitchen scene, it combines storage, a mini fridge, a sink, a built-in ice bucket, lighting, and more. With the special arc-type column as a support, this function island expresses an elegant, unique temperament. In addition, the new hand-woven Core Lighting Series takes the seeds of plants as inspiration to express a travel story that scatter with the wind and stay freely. This new series uses environmentally friendly solar energy source, combined with 100% waterproof material, special structural design, while trying to update the hand-woven style, techniques, and other design details. Outdoor Voyage will continue with different pieces and collections by KUNDESIGN, which inspires the users' instinct to draw inspiration from daily life and to conceive of a rich and personal outdoor living experience.
