About the Item

Oracle Chair by Karstudio Dimensions: W 38 x D 56 x H 97 cm Materials: Ash Wood, High Gloss. Oracle bone script dates back to the Shang Dynasty of China, a text engravedon tortoise shells and animal bones for divination. Taking China's oldestscript as its creative source, kar presents a new collection of furniture,"Oracle", which consists of a chair, a desk, a bench, a shelf, and a screen.The symbolic form of the ancient script has been broken down to extract anostalgic yet vibrant, firm and fluid framework. Polishing with solid woodreveals a sense of the bones of the ancient script, which is added with a darkand shiny lacquer surface, conveying a mysterious oriental charm.The lines and forms of the "Oracle" collection are reminiscent of hieroglyphsin ancient times and express an overall beauty of uprightness and flexibility,and it also recalls the shape and mood of traditional calligraphy; Being viewedfrom different angles, the lines of each piece are full of calligraphic gestures,and the two thinner rounded ends seem to indicate the beginning andclosing of a stroke, which freely flow between horizontal and vertical orders,with more substantial or lighter strengths. Creating this collection is likemastering a writing game, with rigorous and meticulous pondering and study,immersing oneself in a state of mind like practising calligraphy. The "Oracle"furniture pieces reflect sparkles of dried ink traces, creating an ethereal andlonesome artistic atmosphere.This collection incorporates the spirits of exploration at the beginning ofhuman civilisation, drawing inspiration from primitive nature and graspingthe beauty of balance in purity and simplicity. Kar's "Oracle" collectioncontinues the timeless beauty of this ancient art with a contemporaryexpression by condensing its abstract forms and renovating them into brand-new entities. Due to the use of this organic material, the finish will have irregularities, those are not imperfections but part of the visual will of the designers and makers.
