The Amadeus Family was deeply influenced and inspired by Mozart's Opera. Mozart's technique of composing with primary notes to create rich imagery through his music inspired me to transform mundane material into a captivating piece. Even though the singspiel's introduction consists of only a few repeating arpeggio notes, it provides a spectacular sound and visual effect that can almost be comparable to carnival fireworks. While constructing the Amadeus chair, I kept playing Mozart's opera "Die Entführung aus dem Serail K. 384; (The Abduction from the Seraglio) ", hoping to integrate its charm into my work. Mozart's zeal for music and miraculous talent, which were embedded in his compositions, also inspired me on a spiritual level to translate abstract impetus into a flamboyant design language.
Wang Yichu (b.2000) is a designer and artist who investigates materials in various narrative contexts with innovative techniques to establish a unique design language. My research interest lies in the transformation of materials using advanced fabrication methodologies and techniques. I hope to expand the potentiality of overlooked and mundane elements of urban infrastructures. I aim to explore the duality of materials, reshaping materials to present traits contrasting their nature.
