for 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT

nendo designed the cabbage chair for XXIst Century Man exhibition curated by Issey Miyake to commemorate the first anniversary of 21_21 Design Sight in Roppongi, Tokyo.

nendo设计了由三宅一生策划的XXIst Century Man展览的白菜椅，以纪念东京六本木21_21 Design Sight成立一周年。

Miyake asked us to make furniture out of the pleated paper that is produced in mass amounts during the process of making pleated fabric, and usually abandoned as an unwanted by-product. Our solution to his challenge transformed a roll of pleated paper into a small chair that appears naturally as you peel away its outside layers, one layer at a time.

Miyake要求我们用褶皱纸制作家具，这些褶皱纸是在制作褶皱织物的过程中大量生产的，通常作为不需要的副产品而废弃。我们对他的挑战的解决方案将一卷褶皱纸变成了一把小椅子，当你从外层剥离时，它会自然地出现，一次一层。

Resins added during the original paper production process adds strength and the ability to remember forms, and the pleats themselves give the chair elasticity and a springy resilience, for an overall effect

that looks almost rough, but gives the user a soft, comfortable seating experience.

在原始纸张生产过程中添加的树脂增加了强度和记忆形状的能力，并且褶皱本身赋予椅子弹性和弹性回弹性，使整体效果看起来几乎粗糙，但为用户提供柔软，舒适的座椅体验。

Since the production process is so simple, we thought that eventually, the chair could be shipped as one compact roll for the user to cut open and peel back at home. The chair has no internal structure. It is not finished, and it is assembled without nails or screws. This primitive design responds gently to fabrication and distribution costs and environmental concerns, the kinds of issues that face our 21st century selves. Thus, the cabbage chair fits active, optimistic and forward-moving “21st century people”, the kind of people who, to borrow a concept Miyake expressed during a meeting with us, “don’t just wear clothes, but shed their skin”.

由于生产过程非常简单，我们认为最终，椅子可以作为一个紧凑的卷筒运输，供用户在家中切开和剥离。椅子没有内部结构。它没有完成，没有钉子或螺丝组装。这种原始设计可以轻松应对制造和分销成本以及环境问题，即21世纪自身面临的各种问题。因此，白菜椅适合活跃，乐观和前瞻性的“21世纪人”，这是一种借用Miyake在与我们会面时表达的概念的人，“不仅仅是穿衣服，而是脱掉皮肤”。
