最近忙于Dutch Daily Design的建设，这边有点点长草了。不行不行哈哈。大周六的，我一早上5点多就起了。拾起，酣畅淋漓。最近想回顾一下丹麦几个著名家具设计师，开始吧。

Kaare Klint（凯尔·柯林特）的Propeller折叠椅(Propeller Folding Stool)，在1930年设计。

看着这把椅子，好像在看一场舞蹈。看线条从椅面下流出，旋转，再循环。而且折叠起来后可以完全嵌在一起成一个完美圆柱。腿部螺旋的顶端造型自然流畅地融入到两条rail（我真的不知道怎么翻译－，－缠着布的部分）当中。

这大图看的我好爽阿！！！！！！！！！！！

关于该折叠椅的设计
Propeller Folding Stool of 1930 was the standard, military-issue folding stool with a fabric seat; a type favoured by the British army. From Klint's perspective, this was clearly a useful piece of furniture that had proved its worth but which, as a design, could still be improved. He saw that the stool could be made to fold up more neatly if each pair of legs was thought of as being made from a single cylinder of wood cut in a vertical helix(螺旋线) that twisted evenly through 180 degrees. That way, subjet to achieving a narrow and perfectly clean cut, the pair of legs, if pivoted（绕轴旋转） about the centre, could be completely closed or opened and could be given neat slots at one end to hold the seat rails. It is a solution noteworthy for being so simple and yet so ingenious, and also for representing so clearly Klint's working methods.

关于Kaare Klint
Kaare Klint (1888-1954) was a precursor to and teacher of the designers who made Danish modern style explode onto the international mid-century scene. In 1924 he helped to establish the influential Department of Furniture at the Royal Academy of Art in Copenhagen and was a lecturer and Professor of Architecture there. Unlike the modernists, however, Klint worked with an unerring faith in the historical evolution of furniture forms and a commitment to the neo-classical designs. A substantial goal in his work was to take these pieces and try to rethink them and update them with the modern requirements. Although Klint counted among his devoted protégés Poul Kjaerholm and Børge Mogensen, many of his philosophies about design provided the backdrop against which the next generation of designers reacted.

个人经历
Formally trained as a painter at the Polytechnic of Fredericksberg, Klint went on to study architecture at the Technical School of Copenhagen under his father, architect P.V. Jensen Klint and Carl Petersen. In 1914 Petersen invited Klint to assist him in the design of fixtures and fittings for the Faaborg Art Museum. An oak and woven cane chair that they produced for this commission, referring in form back to a traditional 18th century chair, is one of Klint's important designs. After establishing his own office in 1920, Klint would continue through the next two decades to work for museums, designing furniture for Copenhagen's Thorvaldsens Museum and the Danish Museum of Decorative Arts. His furniture designs were internationally exhibited as early as 1929 in Barcelona, and were shown at the 1937 Paris exhibition. In 1927 he designed a simple and elegant chair and armchair in teak with leather upholstery. His 1933 folding 'Safari' chair and ottoman were inspired by a traditional piece that was originally designed for the British military. This chair, which was a market success, had a wooden frame and a canvas seat. Another chair from 1933, a deck lounge outfitted with a removable upholstered mat and pillow, was also inspired by earlier designs. These pieces walk a fine line between imitation, which Klint criticized, and creative revisitation. Klint's goal was for their overarching quality in that they were simple, elegant pieces of domestic equipment. They were mostly hand made by the small firm of Rudolph Rasmussen. Only later in his career, after establishing the firm Le Klint, did he make forays into mass production like his 1940 folded paper lampshade designed with his son.

主要设计和研究领域
Klint spent a great deal of his career conducting detailed studies on the relationship between furniture design and human proportions. Interested in redefining and fine-tuning the chair as, at the base level, the optimal tool for sitting, he conducted extensive research as to how this could be achieved. This theoretical approach is called anthropometrics and proved to be vital to later furniture and industrial designers. Also part of the study, Klint designed storage units customized to fit the objects they would contain, and established some of the standardized measurements for drawers and shelves. The dedication to scientific theory, however, never eclipsed his ever expanding desire to make a better chair and he spoke of the ideal interplay between theory and artistry in a 1930 interview: "a designer can learn to construct an item of furniture, section by section, on the basis of these dry facts, but at the same time give it the changing artistic form that suits him and his time."
