Appreciations towards Cindy Zhang for providing the following description:

一直以来，人们都在寻求让生存环境变得更舒适的方法。在现在我们熟知的传统家具被发明以前，我们准备了很长一段时间，也经历了大大小小的实验，在此之后，这些形态不仅与我们产生了密不可分的联系，就连我们的行为轨迹也深受起影响。我们端坐在椅子上，我们搁置在桌子上，我们平躺在床上。随着时间的推移，越来越少人去质疑这些形态是否在为最恰当的生活方式作支撑？“坐”意味着弯曲双膝将我们的躯干放置在一个支撑物体上；“躺”意味着将我们的身体以水平方向放平倒下。

Across the centuries human beings have been looking for methods to make themselves live in a better environment. Before a variety of classic furniture were created, we went through a long battle and many remarkable experiments . Now,we response to these basic forms and construct our daily life upon them. Chairs for sitting, tables for setting, and beds for sleeping. With time moving on and on, fewer and fewer people would step back and doubt the ways we live in and the objects we are using . “To Sit” means to bend our knees and settle our body on supporters; “To stand”means to keep our bodies in upright position and be still’ “To Lay” means to put down our bodies and set it in horizontal position.

人们对于我们就如温水里的青蛙，在反应过来之前已经被煮熟了。周围的物体任意操纵与雕琢我们的日常行为，我们自己却全然不知。讽刺的是，家具作为最常接触的物体之一，使用者最终还是未能躲过诸多脊椎疾病。在遭受脊椎疾病的同时，人类也在为自己的自鸣得意付出代价。人类始终相信从小到大收到的教育以及社会环境教会我们的是最合理的生活方式，实则不然。

“我们行走在一个现代寓言故事中而浑然不知，我称此寓言为奴性。这种“奴性仪意识”将我们逐渐吞噬，如果我们再不质疑与反抗，那么千百年后，人类的眼睛将会与外星人一般大，我们的脊椎会退化。生活中所有的形态都下意识的对我们做出改变，只有当我们提出质疑，这场游戏才能继续。

We are like frogs in boiling water that we are already dead before we aware of the growing temperature. We are getting more and more comfortable about everything exist around us and let them manipulate our living pattern. However, these gestures still can not give us a “life long pass”to avoid series of spine disease. Behind the pain, we are not only suffering perennial disease but also complacency. Most of people refer the information that is taught by society and grown up experience are the most reasonable and correct way for us to adjust to our surroundings.

We walk in a modern allegory and we haven’t notice, I called this allegory servility. Such servility ingrained in our bone and if we stop questioning and adapt to such setting that already existed, hundred year later, human beings’ eyes will as big as aliens and our body will degenerate. The echo that objects give to us is like a ball we catch, only when we throw it back we can enjoy the game.

当我们处于某些特定的极端情绪，如失落，沮丧，疲惫的时候，身体会告诉我们什么支撑体能够真正的让我们放松。这些通过情绪折射出来的肢体语言是纯粹的，自然的，不受任何因素影响的。

The status and gestures we show when we are in some particular moods, like frustrated, depressed or overwhelmed suggest what kind of support our bodies really need. People do not have enough time to think through their actions , all movements and gestures are subconscious , and this refers to instinctual.

潜意识往往能暴露我们最需要的东西，我的研究课题便是围绕一系列的肢体语言展开，这些肢体语言反映了当代人的深层情绪，我将会根据这些肢体语言设计出一系列非传统的家具形态去支撑人体，并起到放松身体与传达情绪的目的。

The subconsciousness somehow exposes the real needs of body. My thesis discovers a series of gestures that reveal modern people ’s moods and creates a different and untraditional way to support the body based on those gestures.

基于以上的观点，我开始对人们的行为方式展开研究。在记录人们日常行为的过程中，我发现slump-趴这个动作非常有意思，人们会在无意识的情况下通过这个动作去放松他们的身体，这也就是说，当人们在做这个动作的时候，往往是直觉驱使，在这种不受任何外围因素打扰的情况下，去传达：“我需要休息” “让我躺下来”“我累了”等讯息。

Considering about all this, I started my observation on people’s gestures. One of the most fascinating things is that people slump without awareness, this gesture shows people’s inner status in certain aspect, we behave in this way when we are closer to our instincts. The inner voice in our minds is expressed by body language: “I need to take a break”, “Let me lie down”, “I’m so tired”.

根据调整高度，我设计了两个尺寸的“Drape”。矮一点的是为了方便使用者弯曲腰部，高一点的只是为了放松身体的上半部分。

Depending on different needs when we relax our body in standing gesture . I design “Drape” in two different sizes. Shorter one for people to bend over their body and drape themselves on it, and the taller one is provide a support when people only need a surface to relax upper part of body.

“Stick”是为了给身体提供短暂休息的两块钉在墙上的靠垫，不同的高度支撑不同部位，如颈部与腰部。

Stick” are two wall pillows I created to provide a temporary rest for people. You do not have to sit down and take a rest, you can also stand, and you will be stick on it.

“slump”是一个巨型的软包，它提供了一个非常舒适的平面让你去将自己的身体安放在上面。弧度设计提取了人体的自然曲线，也想暗示人们家具本身便是身体的另一种进化产物。

“Slump” is a upholstery piece that provide a comfortablesurfacefor you to settle your body on it. Curve shape is designed to instruct people to remind the shape of body. Help youeself with your own imagination. Let’s slump.

回想起我们日常最常见的肢体语言，站立，坐，平躺似乎是大部分人的状态，但除此之外还有更多难以定义的，并且有趣的肢体语言让我去探讨与研究。

To consider about gestures we are experiencing everyday are linear and simple, which basically can be concludes to lying-sitting-standing. There is more ambiguity besides this three distinguished gestures and I want to discover them.
