Culture Clash - An Exploration of Cultural Influences on Furniture

Abstract
This bachelor’s project investigates what influences furniture within different cultures. Two cultures are studied, the culture in China during the Ming Dynasty and the culture in contemporary Sweden. This is to understand their commonalities and in which ways they differ. This is then to be applied to a series of furniture. The project has a more explorative nature, however, it still follows a traditional design process. The result is a pair of chairs with explicit references to the Ming dynasty and contemporary Sweden.
Abstract (Swedish)
I det här kandidatarbetet undersöks kulturer för att ta reda på vad som influerar deras möbler. Två kulturer studeras i det här projektet: kulturen i Kina under Mingdynastin såväl som den nutida kulturen i Sverige. Detta för att finna deras likheter och skillnader. Det ska sedan appliceras på en ny serie möbler. Projektet är av en mer utforskande karaktär än ett klassisk designprojekt, dock följer den fortfarande processen av efterforskning och idégenerering till en slutlig prototyp. Resultatet är ett par stolar med tydliga referenser till både Mingdynastin och nutida Sverige.
