Modern people admire and long for the nature. Also, circulation and life force from the nature provide feeling of relief to the modern people. In response, this study seeks to suggest a craft design work that provides visual comfort and feeling of relief in the daily space by referring to the image of nature.
Methods This study analyzed preceding researches and various literatures to examine the pieces with themes of property, symbolism, and lines of water for the philosophical and aesthetic features. Also, this study tried to analyze the similarity and distinction in development of the pieces. Then, this study took a motif from water among the basic elements of the nature, defined the flow of water, flow inside water, and overall flow path as [Waterway], and modeled the image obtained by observing such waterway. This study had a repeated experiment on forge welding technique to express the flow and rhythmicity of the line. Also, this study put linear metal expressing the water flow on the table and chair’s leg parts in three dimensions to express how the waterway changes in harmony with other materials.
Result This study made a unique ‘Waterway’ image and designed formative craft piece that provides psychological stability and comfort from nature in daily lives. This study tested on forge welding applied with soft iron and obtained a texture suitable for image of waterway. This study also discovered the possibility of development for various textures that can be expressed with a hand forging technique.
Conclusion This study hopes that the modern people using and appreciating the piece would feel emotional healing such as n atural energy, rest their body and mind, and have relaxation in their busy daily lives. |
