Rattan and Grass: Imperfect Weaves

A set of natural fiber woven objects. A large storage basket is loosely woven from thick rattan, with an irregular weave and varying thickness of bamboo strips; the seat of a single chair is a rattan soft-woven panel, already sagging in the center from use; the shade of a pendant lamp is made of coiled grass rope, with light filtering through the gaps when lit; on the floor is a jute rug with large, coarse weaves. The colors of these materials range from light beige to honey brown, gradually deepening with use; their surfaces have burrs and unevenness, feeling rough but warm to the touch. In the image, one edge of a basket already has a loose spot. Avoid: using dyed and bleached uniformly woven products, making the weave perfectly regular as if machine-made, using plastic imitation rattan materials, eliminating burrs and loose threads.

一組天然纖維編織的物件。一個大型的收納籃是粗藤條疏編的,編法不完全規則,竹篾的粗細有差異;一張單椅的座面是藤編軟屜,已經因為使用而中央下陷;一盞吊燈的燈罩是草繩纏繞而成,點亮時光從縫隙透出;地上一張黃麻地毯,織眼粗大。這些材料的顏色從淺米黃到蜜糖褐,並且會隨著使用逐漸加深;表面有毛刺與不勻,摸起來粗糙但溫暖。畫面中一個籃子的邊緣已經有一處鬆脫。避免:使用染色與漂白的均勻編織品、讓編法完全規則如機器製、使用塑膠仿藤材料、消除毛刺與鬆脫的痕跡。
