Bentwood Furniture: The Backrest is a Line

An Art Nouveau wooden framed armchair. The backrest is a continuous curved wooden strip, extending upwards from one rear leg, curving over the top, and then connecting downwards to the other rear leg, supported in the middle by several thinner curved wooden pieces, forming a plant-like openwork pattern; the seat is woven cane or upholstered. No part of the entire chair is straight, and the cross-section varies in thickness throughout.
Avoid: using straight lines and square chair frames, making the backrest pattern symmetrical, adding carved floral decorations, using machine-bent regular curves.

一張新藝術的木框單椅。椅背是一道連續的彎曲木條,從一側的後腿向上延伸、彎過頂端、再向下接到另一側的後腿,中間以幾根較細的曲木支撐,構成一個植物般的鏤空圖案;座面是藤編或包布的。整張椅子沒有一段是直的,斷面粗細一路在變。避免:使用直線與方正的椅框、讓椅背的圖案左右對稱、加入雕刻的花草裝飾、使用機器彎製的規則弧度。
