andblack設計工作室呈現LOOP系列——一套以前衛雕塑形態和創新設計手法定義的先鋒家具系列。每件作品都印證了工作室"藝術性與功能性融合"的設計哲學，突破材料運用與設計思維的邊界。

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.

關于LOOP系列

About the LOOP series

LOOP系列以"單一材質塑造完整曲面"為核心理念，運用雙曲面構造實現結構穩定性、有機美學與人體工學功能的統一。其設計強調在動態平衡中塑造形態，讓視覺流動與功能表現同源共生。該系列以渾然天成的環狀曲面取代傳統家具的多構件組合，重塑人們對家具制造的認知范式。

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.

該系列已斬獲2023年Idea Tops國際設計大獎等全球殊榮。在印度完成多場重要設計展演后，LOOP系列將于2025年米蘭設計周迎來國際首秀。

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.

系列亮點

Loop collection highlights

LOOP長凳與座椅

LOOP bench and seater

通過連續曲線與精密幾何構造探索流動形態。長凳以若即若離的波浪曲面營造視覺張力與多元就坐可能；座椅通過精準厚度控制實現懸臂結構，在極簡主義、結構穩固與人體工學間取得精妙平衡。

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休閑椅與搖椅

LOOP lounger & rocker

以渾然天成的流線造型重塑就坐體驗。休閑椅以一整張連續曲面打造無界休憩空間，實現形式與功能的完美統一；搖椅從基座延伸放射狀曲線，構筑富有動感的懸臂式座背系統，彰顯運動美學與結構平衡。

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

靈感源自印度用汽車輪胎制作的簡易秋千，通過無限循環的幾何形態重構傳統。扭曲秋千采用莫比烏斯環概念實現空間連續，而螺旋秋千則通過多環結構提供背部支撐。在復雜構造中，這些設計展現出極致簡約，為運動賦予詩意詮釋。

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書房系列

LOOP study series

探索直線與曲線之間和諧共生之美，以及材質反差所帶來的獨特表達。書桌和椅子結合了連續木質曲面的優雅，與解構金屬支架相得益彰；而書架則巧妙地將流動性的曲面融入規整網格，使實用功能更具雕塑藝術感。

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吧臺及彎角邊幾

LOOP bar unit and scoop console

這兩件作品均體現了“從實體雕琢形態”的理念。吧臺憑借懸空環形中空結構在厚重感和輕盈感之間找到完美平衡；而邊幾則通過多點位“挖鑿”工藝使基座離地懸浮，從而營造出一種空靈且引人注目的視覺體驗。

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枝形吊燈

LOOP chandeliers

這一燈具系列探討了流體幾何以及動態光影效果。其中，面具吊燈透過細膩弧度投射出迷人的光芒，而漣漪吊燈則模擬水面的波紋變化，將變幻莫測之光影交織其中。這種獨特設計劃分明地融合了雕塑般優雅和流暢光影敘事之美。

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.

創新工藝

Innovative craft and technology

為了實現復雜構造，LOOP系列巧妙結合數字建模技術及傳統木藝。這種雙軌制創作模式不僅兼顧數字化精確，還保留手工制作所帶來的溫暖觸感，從而創造出既根植本土又具有全球審美價值的新穎作品。同時，通過迭代原型確保每個產品經過嚴格測試，并選用天然材料，以踐行工作室倡導慢生活、慢設計理念的重要信條。

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.

文化價值

Cultural and societal relevance

此系列為印度傳統工藝注入現代化視角，通過當代設計賦能匠人掌握新技能，提高他們生活水平。這些作品展示了如何利用系統思維將復雜概念轉化為具體產品，并推動可持續實踐促進社區發展。在工業化產品泛濫的大環境下，LOOP 系列重新詮釋手工藝價值，使其在現代市場煥發新的生命力。

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.
