Wiktoria Szawiel告诉gooood：自己旨在立足与波兰，白俄罗斯，俄罗斯三者的文化间，找出其共同的特点–自然忧郁的东方景观。这些景观根植在设计师的儿时记忆里，出现在彼时的梦境中。更多请至:Wiktoria Szawiel on gooood

将藤条与柳条跟不同成分精心配比的树脂混合，得出每一件都独一无二的“之中风景”家具。

半透明的混沌中，风景浮现，飘然而灵动。

Landscapes Within是Wiktoria Szawiel的情怀之作，设计师将自己所迷恋的风景还有重要的回忆融入设计之中，让其与功能还有文化发生关联。这些来源于大自然的质朴材料在设计研究的探索中以让人会心一笑却又绝非寻常的姿态出现。

form the designer :

The starting point of this project is my personal fascination with landscapes. Landscapes that intrigue me, ones that impressed me a lot or onesI long for. Memories of places I grew up or are important for me. Naturally I have started to wonder what is the meaning and importance of a landscape for an individual and humanity in general. This led me into a research about connection between landscapes and memory, cultural meaning of landscapes and functions it has for a society. For the purpose of a material research I made a dissection of the landscape into phenomenons. It helped to structure my experimentation and allowed me to gain some insights within the subject. During the process, the challenge arose – how to capture the immaterial qualities of a landscape in a physical object?

I was raised between Polish, Belarussian and Russian cultures. What they have in common, is nature, the unique, melancholic easternlandscape. So I dreamt about places, and I dreamt about landscapes, and I recalled familiar memories of sounds, views, feelings. From those little notions of a space, of light, of atmosphere, my project emerged.

I aimed to capture the beauty and the spirituality of an eastern landscape within a physical object. I tried to translate different aspects of landscape into materials, colours, techniques and shapes. For example I see air perspective as thickness, temperature as colour, light as translucency.

I created a collection of objects as a materialised essence of an eastern landscape, to bring the feeling of an atmosphere within a space.

Materials & techniques

During the process I have experimented with many materials trying to capture different qualities of a landscape. I dissected the landscape into natural phenomenons to be able to create a methodology of a design process. It became a structured guide for my experimentation.

I was working with casting, rattan weaving and wickerwork. I had to develop precise proportions of different components for the resins, a kind of design recipes to be able to create my objects. Every object is made using a different recipe. Each one required a different way of creating a mould – sometimes the mould was an object itself – e.g. to make the chair I used an existing structure of a wicker chair that I reinforced with resin and therefore I was able to cut and sand it. Without that the structure would just fall apart. For the stool and the table I have woven the wicker and rattan structures myself.

I think the quality of my material experimentation lays in the combination of opposites – natural and artificial. If I combine resin with wood I am revealing inner pattern that couldn’t be seen without it. It becomes strengthened and exposed. It is a game between opposite qualities, which during the working process become complimentary.

Objects:

Side table____ 60x60x50 cm_______resin+rattan
Chair____approx 100x60x60 cm____resin+wicker
Stool____approx 30x30x40 cm_____resin+wicker or rattan
Vases____various sizes___________resi
