Rong • SunMao is the sixth year of Rong Design Exhibition. Rong in Chinese means 'melting.' By deconstructing the traditional crafts Rong designers turn them into contemporary design.
From 2012 to 2017, focusing on one traditional Chinese crafts material each year, Rong Design Exhibition invites designers from different areas to do the contemporary design. 1st year – bamboo, 2nd year – silk, 3rd year – mud, 4th year – copper, 5th year – paper. The sixth year, SǔnMǎo-Chinese Joints.
SǔnMǎo - Chinese Joints is a traditional Chinese way for connecting woods. This technique can be applied to big structures, like buildings and bridges, but also to small object like furniture and window. Ancient Chinese craftsmen used advanced wood joints to complete the three-dimensional structure.
Nowadays the hardwood materials gradually faded. Based on the concept of deconstruction, Rong Design Exhibition sincerely invites you to discuss in which direction will SǔnMǎo-based design go.
