S E A T S - 人 土 人 / 抽象主義 - 部落椅凳展
2013.8.6 - 2013.9.8
部落的椅凳.造型上來說，區分為抽象主義與象徵主義，不同的部落有他們慣有傳承的造型脈絡。一般來說，象徵性的椅凳，無非希望透過動物或其他的形象進而獲的相同的力量與期待，抽象性的椅凳，大多直覺式的表現出對於造型美感的看法。
人類為表現審美、信仰、地位、與象徵，而有各種藝術的創作，又因環境的不同而產生不同的適應生活方式。椅凳是非洲傳統文化的載體，而非洲傢俱靈感基本都源自於大自然，這些靈感來自於動物，樹木和土壤。據歷史記載，大部分在非洲部落和文化始終認為，人類真正的權力是來自於樹木，河流，石頭和土壤或強大的動物。
在非洲許多部族文化中，椅凳是極私人的物件，被視為靈魂的載體。因此，每個人都視自己的椅凳為珍寶。生活中必不可少的椅凳也日益成為擁有者權力和社會地位的象徵。在一些部族中，只有部族首領、巫醫、權貴等人才能擁有自己的椅凳。除此之外，在人們追求返璞歸真、崇尚自然的今天，很多現代傢俱也融合了部落元素在裡面，在衝突中產生平衡，散發著古樸自然的氣息，與使用者的生活融為一體。顏色自然樸實且質感強，使居室充滿悠閒、舒暢、寧靜的自然氛圍。
漫畫家幾米曾說:『椅子是每一個人的位置，在社會中的位置，每一個椅子則代表了人在世界的一種位置，一把椅子往往可以反應眾生萬相。』這一點我們可以從中國古代的椅子可以明顯看出，家具甚至是禮儀和階級名分的象徵。首先，中國的椅子階級高於凳子，其次靠背椅(泛指有靠背的椅子)的階級高於扶手椅(無靠背的椅子)，靠背椅中的寶座是專供帝王使用，象徵著最高統治者至高無上、獨一無二的權力和地位象徵。
對於椅子，體現社會地位而非舒適性，曾長時間佔據人們的觀念。Galen Cranz在其著述《椅子》（The
Chair）中闡述椅子發展史時曾提到，相當長的時間裡，"
放眼世界，"椅子"和"坐在椅子上"已經成為了一種象徵。無論東方與西方，椅子的含義雖不相同，但都表示地位和身份。非洲椅凳普遍高度約在8到30公分之間，相較於現今椅子高度約40到50公分的範圍低矮了許多。這樣的坐椅高度和非洲廣泛採用的蹲坐姿勢相吻合，同時反映了他們在地面上生活和工作的自然寫照。
在椅凳中，凡舉非洲座椅從寫實的、具象的到半具象、抽象的表現，純熟地變換和運用，形式繁多。椅凳以簡潔明朗的外觀，剛柔並存。木料保留原始的疤結、殘邊和裂縫，在著色前都經過了處理，讓原始木材表面的質地凸顯，那種樸實無華的美感增添原始的質樸特性。此外，可從衣索比亞的十字造型符號的座椅，追溯於西元四世紀時即接受基督教的洗禮，是一個具有悠久和豐富的基督教傳統的國家。典雅的十字造型，不單彰顯其過去的歷史，亦可表達抽象而神聖的宗教意涵。另外，馬里的多貢人將凳面視為天、凳底視為地，而凳面與凳底之間的支架則像徵大樹，連接天地。非洲部落裡，他們把自然資源與他們自己的想像力結合起來，創作出獨有的原始力量的作品。
1995年夏天，Hans SandgrenJakobsen《漢斯·雅各布森》參觀了一個關於非洲文化的展覽，無意中發現了幾張來自剛果及象牙海岸部落的座椅，除了華麗的裝飾性雕刻花紋外，他還發現簡單的實木彎折技術，回到工作室後，立刻以整片長方形硬紙板，設計出具有二次直角轉折的三面向原型椅，但遍尋丹麥各地傢俱廠商，卻沒有一家願意生產，因為當時曲木技術尚無法完成如此複雜的大角度轉折，然而丹麥皇室御用傢俱品牌FREDERICIA最終卻被Hans
SandgrenJakobsen的誠意打動，經過無數次試驗後，終於在1998年以十片0.8公釐薄、53×125公分的實木板膠合，並將材質張力與曲木技術發揮至極限，完成此張名為Gallery、一推出便囊括世界各大設計獎項的驚人作品。
