[post_content] => Zhoujie Zhang (b. 1984 Ningbo, lives in Shanghai) earned his Master of Arts in Industrial Design at Central Saint Martins College (2010), London. He returned to Shanghai and established an in-house workshop shortly thereafter. Zhang’s designs have been widely exhibited to include Project Milano Mi Fa Male, during Milan Design Week (April 2009); 100% Design, London (September 2011); and, IMM [D3] Design Talents, Cologne (January 2012), among others. In the last three years, Zhang has acquired prestigious awards including the ELLE Deco Young Designer of the Year (2012), IF Design Award China (2007) and the SHDC 50/100 Young Talent of the Year (2012).

Zhoujie Zhang grew up in the Southeast of China. He studied Industrial Design at the China Academy of Art, and later, received a Masters of Art in Industrial Design from the prestigious Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. In 2010, he founded his own studio in Shanghai to explore his design direction.
Zhoujie set out to produce his innovative steel designs, inspired by the progressive techniques he learned in London. He spent 18 months perfecting his trade - welding, cutting, polishing and manufacturing - gaining an intimate, step-by-step understanding of the manufacturing and production processes.
In 2010, Zhoujie founded his own studio in Shanghai with an in-house workshop, to further explore the direction and intentions of his design.
At the age of 28, he has showcased his works at over 30 exhibitions, including London and Milan. During his first exhibition at 100% Design in London, Zhoujie’s digital furniture sold out in less than half an hour to collectors and gallery owners from around the world.
In the last three years, Zhoujie has been honored with prestigious awards including the ELLE Deco Young Designer of the Year 2012, the IF Design AwardChina and the SHDC 50/100 Young Talent of the year.
As an independent designer, Zhoujie Zhang believes that good design is inspired by process. By continuously forming new concepts throughout the course of development and production, the creation is a constant progression of its evolution.
Zhoujie’s works and design principles are based on spontaneity, taken from the philosophies of Taoism. This philosophy reflects his understanding of ACTIONLESS, which pays respect to the logic of mathematics and the laws of a digital environment.
The Brass Collection is the first series of objects developed with Endless Forms, Zhoujie’s own digitalized fabrication system that generates an ever-changing family of objects. With a role as more of creator rather than designer, Zhoujie’s designs appear as though viewing the world through a kaleidoscope, looking at the infinite
With his practice dedicated to the development of a digitalized fabrication system, Zhoujie’s goal has been to create a system with an ability to transform digital programs into real objects. In the near future, people will be able to participate in the creation; design a customized chair through the digital system and select different materials of their choice. This brand new, artificial intelligence design concept will fit better into the life and preferences of each individual, and, the interaction between product and human will be deepened. The process of design will evolve from single physical phase to a systematic level.
Zhoujie’s goal for his future collection of works is to engineer designs that utilize progressive elements such as macromolecular materials and titanium.

Spider Chair (SQN1-F2C) | 黄铜系列, 2014
黄铜
尺寸:
60长 × 60宽 × 75高 厘米
23 5/8长 × 23 5/8宽 × 29 1/2高 英尺
Edition of 12
Spider Chair 所属的黄铜系列是第一个张周捷用Endless Forms系统创造的系列。Endless Froms是张周捷自己发明的数字化制造系统，此系统可以帮助开发同一系列不同形态的更多作品。创造者比设计师更适合形容张周捷，因为他的作品概念就像是拿起万花筒看世界，有着无限的可能性。
黄铜，是一种相对较软的材料，在运输，激光切割以及制作过程中很容易变形和有划痕。因此，每一个制造过程都必须非常谨慎。新材料意味着对于结构，每一个步骤，和整个过程都需要进行无数次的测试。
张周捷利用他对数字加工系统的开发与理解，他的目标是建立一个可以把数字程序转化为现实物体的系统。在不久的将来，人们将可以参与创作：设计通过数字系统设计椅子，并选择他们所喜的不同材料。这个全新的人工智能设计理念将更好的与每个人的生活喜好相适应。而且，将巩固作品和人之间的互动。设计的过程会从单个的物理阶段发展到整体系统的水平。 张周捷的目标就是利用先进材料，比如高分子材料和钛合金做未来的作品设计。
张周捷的作品和设计理念是基于道教的自发性。这一理念体现了他的对无为的理解—— 对数学的逻辑与数字环境定律的思考。
作为一个独立的设计师，张周捷认为好的设计是从过程中寻找灵感。在整个开发和生产的过程中不断形成新的理念，创新是一个在成功路上不断进步的过程。
“通过我的设计，我想建立通向数字未来的道路，而最后创造一个可以测量，设计，生产，测试，以及营销这些新的作品的系统。从第一和第二次工业革命之后，我们现在正在经历第三个革命——数字革命。我要参与这次革命，我已经准备好了长征。”—— 张周捷
