"Flow on the Edge" is a brand exhibition created for THELí’s entry into "Design Republic • Design Commune." The exhibition unfolds around the material properties of natural elements—stone and wood—showcasing THELí’s explorations and experiments with the concept of "the edge," corresponding to the application contexts of the brand’s two materials: LiME WASH and LiNSEE DYE. The works, visual design, and spatial design were all fully presented by 4aC Design, expressing how materials trigger spontaneous encounters and reflections between personal life and public spaces.
「flow on the edge 在边缘流动」是我们为 THELí 入驻“设计共和•设计公社”创作的品牌特展。展览基于自然素材“石”和“木”的物质属性展开,呈现了 THELí 作为天然现代材料品牌围绕“边缘”进行的系列思索与实验,分别对应品牌 LiME WASH / LiNSEE DYE 两种材料的应用场景。其中作品创作、视觉设计、空间设计均由 4aC Design 完整呈现,表达了材料在个人生活与公共场景间的随机发生与思考。。
I Quarrying - Flow.01 is an ongoing initiative about daily walks in cities.
We see the touch between feet and the ground as paint slowly moving on stone, touching the flow of each stone surface. In this initiative, we prefer walking on the edges of urban roads. At crevices of sidewalks, ruts between weeds and tiles, and corners of construction sites, we pick up bricks, debris, and broken concrete randomly, and finally reach the surface of each stone. We just want to be companions of roads or become roads ourselves. Following the pulse of roads, we walk, collect, and flow. We are quarriers who admire and move each broken stone we encounter in corners of cities.
I Reading - Flow.02 is a collection about reading records of wood grain. When we have a plank in front of us, we give the say to the material itself. In the light of the growing laws of "the wood," we read the growing pattern of this piece of plant via lines and turns of grains and transitions of its morphology. Each patch of colour on wood is a mark captured randomly. We know grains are meaningless, but it is these meaningless sketches that lead us through from beginning to end.
