傳統非洲庭院靈感傢俬
Terry Aidoo聚焦Kabila Collection——一系列包括咖啡桌及配套凳子的傢俬系列,將傳統非洲庭院的社會及文化意義轉化為當代雕塑感木製物件。
Kabila Collection 系列,本質上將傢俱由單純的功能性物品,轉化為促進人際連結、聚會及共享體驗的意義載體,Kabila 這個名字——於斯瓦希里語及阿拉伯語中均意指氏族或部落——喚起一種透過集體記憶及傳統、而非單純血緣塑造而成的身份認同。咖啡桌作為公共中心的當代演繹,而凳子則作為環繞其周圍的個別元素。此設計,呼應傳統庭院場景中的空間關係,打造出一片積極鼓勵對話、參與及交流的景觀。桌面上嵌有一個下凹的圓形細節,呼應厄立特里亞咖啡儀式——一項以款待及團聚為核心的儀式,以及西非其中一款歷史最悠久的棋盤遊戲 Oware(豪棋)的雕刻演繹。
英文原文
The Kabila Collection essentially transforms furniture from mere functional items into meaningful catalysts for human connection, gathering, and shared experience, with the name Kabila — meaning clan or tribe in both Swahili and Arabic — evoking identity shaped through collective memory and tradition rather than solely through bloodlines. The coffee table functions as a contemporary interpretation of the communal center, while the stools act as individual elements surrounding it. This mirrors the spatial relationships found within traditional courtyard settings and creates a landscape that actively encourages conversation, participation, and exchange. Embedded within the table's surface is a recessed circular detail referencing the Eritrean coffee ceremony, a ritual centered on hospitality and togetherness, and a carved interpretation of Oware, one of the oldest board games in West Africa.
