andblack设计工作室呈现LOOP系列——一套以前卫雕塑形态和创新设计手法定义的先锋家具系列。每件作品都印证了工作室"艺术性与功能性融合"的设计哲学,突破材料运用与设计思维的边界。
andblack design studio presents the LOOP series, a cutting-edge collection of furniture defined by sculptural forms and an inventive approach to design. Each piece is a testament to the studio's philosophy of merging artistry with functionality, pushing the boundaries of material manipulation and design thinking.
关于LOOP系列
About the LOOP series
LOOP系列以"单一材质塑造完整曲面"为核心理念,运用双曲面构造实现结构稳定性、有机美学与人体工学功能的统一。其设计强调在动态平衡中塑造形态,让视觉流动与功能表现同源共生。该系列以浑然天成的环状曲面取代传统家具的多构件组合,重塑人们对家具制造的认知范式。
Inspired by the idea of ‘a single surface made in a single material’, the LOOP series uses doubly curved surfaces to achieve structural stability, organic aesthetics, and ergonomic functionality. The design approach emphasizes creating dynamic yet balanced forms, where the visual flow and functional performance stem from a unified idea. The series challenges traditional perceptions of furniture-making by replacing multi-element compositions with seamless surfaces that loop into self-supporting forms.
该系列已斩获2023年Idea Tops国际设计大奖等全球殊荣。在印度完成多场重要设计展演后,LOOP系列将于2025年米兰设计周迎来国际首秀。
The series has received international recognition, including the Idea Tops Award 2023 for Global Best Design. After being showcased at prominent design events in India, the LOOP series will make its international debut at Milan Design Week 2025.
系列亮点
Loop collection highlights
LOOP长凳与座椅
LOOP bench and seater
通过连续曲线与精密几何构造探索流动形态。长凳以若即若离的波浪曲面营造视觉张力与多元就坐可能;座椅通过精准厚度控制实现悬臂结构,在极简主义、结构稳固与人体工学间取得精妙平衡。
The LOOP bench and seater explore fluid forms through continuous curves and thoughtful geometry. The bench features near-touching undulations that create visual tension and versatile seating. The seater achieves a cantilevered design with strategic thickness variations, balancing minimalism, structural stability, and ergonomic comfort.
LOOP休闲椅与摇椅
LOOP lounger & rocker
以浑然天成的流线造型重塑就坐体验。休闲椅以一整张连续曲面打造无界休憩空间,实现形式与功能的完美统一;摇椅从基座延伸放射状曲线,构筑富有动感的悬臂式座背系统,彰显运动美学与结构平衡。
The LOOP lounger and rocker redefine seating through unified, fluid forms. The lounger uses a single continuous surface for a seamless lounging experience, integrating form and function. The rocker extends a radial curve from its base, creating a dynamic cantilevered seat and backrest that emphasizes movement and structural balance.
LOOP秋千
LOOP jhoolas
灵感源自印度用汽车轮胎制作的简易秋千,通过无限循环的几何形态重构传统。扭曲秋千采用莫比乌斯环概念实现空间连续,而螺旋秋千则通过多环结构提供背部支撑。在复杂构造中,这些设计展现出极致简约,为运动赋予诗意诠释。
Inspired by the simplest of swings, made from car and truck tires in India, the LOOP jhoolas are an exploration of never-ending circular geometries. The twisted jhoola explores the Mobius-inspired twist, allowing for a continuous flow, while the spiral jhoola adds another loop for back support. The designs blend complexity with simplicity, offering a unique interpretation of motion.
LOOP书房系列
LOOP study series
探索直线与曲线之间和谐共生之美,以及材质反差所带来的独特表达。书桌和椅子结合了连续木质曲面的优雅,与解构金属支架相得益彰;而书架则巧妙地将流动性的曲面融入规整网格,使实用功能更具雕塑艺术感。
The LOOP study series explores the juxtaposition of linearity and curvaceous forms alongside contrasting material expressions. The study table and chair feature continuous wooden surfaces supported by fragmented, sleek metal structures. The Bookshelf defies conventional storage by integrating looping surfaces into its structured grid, blending function with sculptural artistry.
LOOP吧台及弯角边几
LOOP bar unit and scoop console
这两件作品均体现了“从实体雕琢形态”的理念。吧台凭借悬空环形中空结构在厚重感和轻盈感之间找到完美平衡;而边几则通过多点位“挖凿”工艺使基座离地悬浮,从而营造出一种空灵且引人注目的视觉体验。
Both pieces explore the idea of carving out a sculptural form from a solid mass. The bar unit is a cantilevered loop void that balances heft with elegance. The scoop console takes this further by carefully "scooping" material at various points, lifting the structure off the ground and creating an ethereal presence.
LOOP枝形吊灯
LOOP chandeliers
这一灯具系列探讨了流体几何以及动态光影效果。其中,面具吊灯透过细腻弧度投射出迷人的光芒,而涟漪吊灯则模拟水面的波纹变化,将变幻莫测之光影交织其中。这种独特设计划分明地融合了雕塑般优雅和流畅光影叙事之美。
The chandelier series explores fluid geometries and dynamic lighting. The masque chandelier features sinuous surfaces emitting light through edge gaps, while the ripple chandelier mimics the surface disturbances on water, casting shifting patterns of light and shadow. These designs blend sculptural elegance with evolving visual experiences.
创新工艺
Innovative craft and technology
为了实现复杂构造,LOOP系列巧妙结合数字建模技术及传统木艺。这种双轨制创作模式不仅兼顾数字化精确,还保留手工制作所带来的温暖触感,从而创造出既根植本土又具有全球审美价值的新颖作品。同时,通过迭代原型确保每个产品经过严格测试,并选用天然材料,以践行工作室倡导慢生活、慢设计理念的重要信条。
The LOOP series achieves its complexity through computational tools combined with traditional carpentry techniques. This dual approach marries digital precision with artisanal aesthetics, resulting in designs that are global in their appeal, yet rooted in their origins. Iterative prototyping ensures each piece meets rigorous performance criteria, while the use of natural materials aligns with the studio’s commitment to slow design principles.
文化价值
Cultural and societal relevance
此系列为印度传统工艺注入现代化视角,通过当代设计赋能匠人掌握新技能,提高他们生活水平。这些作品展示了如何利用系统思维将复杂概念转化为具体产品,并推动可持续实践促进社区发展。在工业化产品泛滥的大环境下,LOOP 系列重新诠释手工艺价值,使其在现代市场焕发新的生命力。
The LOOP series strengthens the link between traditional know-how and contemporary design thinking by contextualizing modern design practices for Indian craftsmen. This collaboration enables craftsmen to adopt new forms and techniques, contributing to better livelihoods. The series demonstrates how systematic thinking can transform complex ideas into tangible products, benefiting society through sustainable practices and local empowerment. Furthermore, it contributes to the revitalization of craft, making it relevant and valued in today’s market, which is increasingly flooded with industrial products.
