Fiberglass and Molded Plastic: Mass-Produced Curves

A space-age furniture piece molded from fiberglass. The surface is uniformly high-gloss white, with very slight mold marks and rounded edges; the back shows the molded concave curves and reinforcing ribs. The material itself has a certain thickness and hardness, feeling solid when tapped. This material allows complex curved surfaces to be mass-produced, so the furniture's shape is determined by the mold, not handcrafted.
Avoid: using false curves made from wood and metal welding, allowing handmade irregularities to appear on the surface, using thin, brittle plastic that looks cheap, adding veneers and fabric coverings that disrupt the integrated feel.

一件玻璃纖維模壓成型的太空時代家具。表面是均勻的高光白色,有極輕微的模具痕跡與圓潤的邊緣;背面可以看到成型的內凹曲面與加強肋。材料本身有一定的厚度與硬度,敲起來是實心的。這種材料讓複雜的曲面可以被大量生產,因此家具的形狀是模具決定的,不是手工做出來的。避免:使用木材與金屬焊接做出的假曲面、讓表面出現手工的不規則、使用薄脆的塑膠看起來廉價、加入貼皮與包布破壞一體感。
