Wave Zero – Maria Blaisse and Bin Xu (The Netherlands)

For Knit!, Amsterdam-based designer Maria Blaisse and interior architect Bin Xu set out to create a piece of furniture that could simultaneously activate and relax the body – a design that brings the body into balance. Wave Zero is a flexible, lightweight birchwood form inspired by a drop of water. With one concave side, and one convex, Wave Zero can either cradle or stretch the body, depending on how the piece is positioned. Its flexible form is completed with two removable mats, or slim seat cushions, upholstered in Kvadrat Febrik’s Mosaic knitted textile.

Maria Blaisse & Bin Xu

Maria Blaisse Studio は、デザイナー、客員教授、「The Emergence of Form 」著者の Maria Blaisse とBinDesign 設立者の Bin Xu の作品が生まれる場所です。
二人は素材、フォルム、動きに焦点を当て、さらにシンプリシティと意義のある機能性を調和させたいという願いを掲げ、Bamboe paviljoen – Oloide (オランダ、2019 年)、De Ketelfactory、Schiedam、DordtYart、Dordrecht といった場所での展示作品等、柔軟性に富んだ構造物を制作してきました。
