X-ZOO｜36.5℃系列作品：色彩的温度，拥抱的艺术
X-ZOO成立于2022年，由设计师赵梦笛（Margie Zhao）和魏心儒（Xinru Wei）创立，是一个以建筑学为根基的艺术家具设计工作室。X-ZOO相信创作是自由生长的，作品的诞生先于其定义。设计团队致力于打破设计学科的传统分类和理解，尝试融合并寻求差异中的平衡感。不局限或定义作品创作及呈现的规则，作品从诞生到被使用始终是自由且生动的。X-ZOO设计Ta的生命形态，你来赋予Ta多面可能和独一无二的情感故事。
X-ZOO was founded in 2022 by Margie Zhao and Xinru Wei, and it is a design studio established to produce cross-disciplinary work that integrates architecture, experimental design with emotional sensibility. Their design philosophy is to provide work with “freedom of growth”. Pieces “happen” before its function is defined, allowing users to complete the design through the process of interaction. Through boundless imagination, they endow objects with life and characteristic, bringing excitement and vitality into daily living in addition to contemporary functionality.
36.5°C是ta的体温，就像一个随时为你张开的拥抱，会因为你的情绪变得炙热、柔软。它们自洽地融入你的生活，与空间对话，透过你的眼睛和皮肤与你互动。
灵感源于对闭环结构的探索。打破“环状”为圆形的第一固有印象，抓取闭环结构演变过程中的稳定形态，为作品基础框架。
Inspired by the body temperature of thermostatic animals, 36.5°C brings you into their embrace. It awaits to bring warmth into your life.

Xinru’s design focuses on the research and application of material and structure. Integrating cross-disciplinary concepts into her work. As oppose to pure functionality, she pays more attention to the emotional and sensory impact created by the object or space.
Margie和Xinru的创作受启发于自身经历和东西方生活中对文化、审美的深刻理解，即东西方世界对追求“生命力”的一致性，并在已有对立中寻找和谐。创作擅长从建筑学对艺术样态进行表达，因此作品在感性表现下潜藏着更强的逻辑性。创作思维充满想象，不受限于客观世界的法则，往往从跳脱作品本身的角度延续灵感。
Margie and Xinru’s works are inspired by their own experiences and deep understanding of culture and aesthetics in Eastern and Western life, that is, the consistency of the pursuit of “vitality” in the Eastern and Western world, and the search for harmony in the existing opposition. The creation is good at expressing the artistic form from architecture, so the works have stronger logic hidden under the emotional expression. Creative thinking is full of imagination, not limited by the laws of the objective world and often from beyond the perspective of the work itself to continue the inspiration.
