讲“老饕”之前先说另一个故事,纣王的叔叔看见纣王在使用象牙筷子,便联想到这个侄子一定是败家子,因为跟象牙筷子相配的必是犀牛角餐具,饮食当然也要琼浆珍馐,再类推到衣着宫殿必然更加穷奢极欲。这便是“见微知著”的来历,可见一个小小的“箸”能够映射的是巨大的行为系统。“晒上海”八的产品方向定义为饮食相关器物,并未深究餐具的历史沿革,而是沿袭一贯的“个人主义”,从个人经验出发,提出一个个独立的问题和解决方案。苏东坡在“老饕赋”里对食物和烹饪之美的描述,充满画面感,纯粹而美妙。“盖聚物之夭美,以养吾之老饕。”此处的“物”,我们更愿意理解为食物和器物,本次“晒上海”指定工艺又是“景泰蓝”,可谓“夭美”,因此,我们选用“老饕”作为本次设计的主题,意在每个人都有自己的吃法,也有吃的更美的方法。

Let`s tell a story before talking about ‘The Eater’. Once King Zhou`s uncle saw him using ivory chopsticks, considering that he`s a black sheep. Because there must be Rhino horn tableware to match ivory chopsticks, and the food and drink must be luxurious too, so must the clothing and the palace. So from the first small beginnings one can see how things will develop. The small chopsticks could reflect the whole huge system of behaving. The definition of product direction of ‘Shine Shanghai 8’ is artifacts for eating and drinking, not digging into the evolution of tableware, but continuing being individualism, from personal experience, raising independent questions and solutions. In ‘Gourmet Fu’ of Su Shi, the description of food and the beauty of cooking is full of vividness,  pure and wonderful. ‘Gathering all the marvelous materials to keep my glutton.’ We prefer to comprehend ‘Materials’ as food and tableware. This time, the specified technique is cloisonné, which would be marvelous. So we choose ‘The eater’ as the theme of design, meaning everyone has his/her own way to eat, and also to eat more marvelously.

晒上海八工艺/ Technique

琅又称佛郎、发蓝。以矿物质的硅、铅丹、硼砂、长石、石英等原料按照适当的比例混和,分别加入各种呈色的金属氧化物,经焙烧磨碎制成粉末状的彩料后,再依其珐琅工艺的不同做法,填嵌或绘制于以金属做胎(一般是紫铜,金,银等贵金属)的器体上,经烘烧而成为珐琅制品。依据在制作过程中具体加工工艺的不同,珐琅可分为掐丝珐琅器、鏨胎珐琅器、画珐琅器和透明珐琅器等几个品种。掐丝珐琅,自公元13世纪珐琅传入中国后,由中国手工匠人自己创新成为中国皇室珐琅工艺。其主要工艺是通过纯手工掐制与图稿上相同纹样的金属丝(铜丝,银丝与金丝),经过与胎体黏接与多次点珐琅釉料后烧制、打磨而成的珐琅作品,故名“掐丝珐琅”,又称“景泰蓝”。

Enamel is mixed by silicon, minium, borax, feldspar, quartz and other minerals, each with coloring metallic oxide, made to powder of pigment after burning and grinding, along the different techniques, caulked or painted on the metallic wares such as red copper, gold or silver, then burned again. As for the different techniques, enamel is divided into cloisonné enamel, inlay enamel, painted enamel and basse-taille.After enamel was introduced into China in the thirteenth century, the cloisonné enamel is created by Chinese artisans as royal enamel technique. The main technique is to pinch metal wires such as copper, silver and gold manually following the blueprint, burned and grinded after adhesion and coloring. It’s also named as cloisonné enamel or cloisonné.

晒上海缘起Origin

“设计师最核心的价值就是他的独立性”,这是“晒上海”的发起精神。每年集合上海不同领域的一线设计师,做完全主观的独立的设计实践,最终以“实物”的形式呈现,我们会称这个“实物”为“产品”,但是“产品”的定义因人而异。当然其意义并不是在个人渲泄和表达上,而是有期许的实验设计集体行为。期望这群微小个体发出的合音能够产生一些共振。因此,我们用“晒shine”为名,意在“闪亮,照亮”。让我们一如晒太阳一般自由的晒设计吧。

 

“The core value of a designer lies in his/her independence”, which is the originating spirit of “Shine Shanghai”. Every year, top-ranked designers from various fields at Shanghai are gathered together to conduct completely subjective and independent design researches with specified materials and theme, and finally present their results in the form of “entity”, which will be named as “product”. However, the definition of “product” varies with each individual. It is without doubt that the meaning is not confined to personal catharsis and expression at all, but an experimental design collective behavior with expectations. We look forward to see some resonances generated from chord of these tiny individuals. Therefore, we adopt the name of “Shine” with an eye to “glisten and illuminate”.Let’s shine our designs freely just like basking in the sun.
