每個挑選過傢具的人都知道沙發在室內裝潢中的重要性,但是好的沙發卻非常難找。這位以倫敦為據點的藝術家 Maximo Riera 提供大家一種不一樣的選擇,他用動物為主題製作出這些被收藏在博物館也不為過並且藝術價值與實用性兼具的沙發。

每件沙發都是接受訂單後才開始製作,製作時間約11週。
![Each piece is made to order, and takes anywhere between nine and 11 weeks to complete.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/563dc34e54db4.jpg)
這些雕塑作品一個個都非常栩栩如生,但除此之外又是實際能使用的傢具。需要做出這些特殊、逼真又能實際使用的作品需要非常強大的雕刻技術。藉由最新的3D模型軟體設計,在經過獨特的調色後,打造出這些獨一無二的作品!
![By implementing the latest in 3-D modeling software and giving each creation its own unique color signature, no two pieces are exactly alike.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/563dc34ea879c.jpg)
Maximo與他的工作人員還使用最先進的工程與製造技術確保每件雕刻從打草稿到完成為止的細節都要精準到位。

就算撇開藝術性質不談,這些傢具也非常的堅固耐用,由金屬框和高密度聚氨酯製作而成。

好幾週的製作過程中,每一張椅子的工時就至少花480個小時。
![Over the course of many weeks, Riera puts in about 480 hours of work on every single chair.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/563dc34fdc18f.jpg)
這些高品質的材質製造出的傢具的堅固度不會輸給實木傢具,而這一系列作品也有向大自然致敬的意義。

Maximo說到「這一系列作品能讓我們瞻仰大自然的偉大作品,這也是為什麼我從一開始就堅持一定要呈現動物最真實的面貌。」
!["This collection," he writes, "gives us the option of admiring what nature is capable of. This is the main reason why — from the beginning — I wanted to be faithful to the animal's physique."](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/563dc350b4b9d.jpg)

Maximo致力於捕捉動物的精華並重現於作品中,因為他認為大自然所創造出的動物就是世界上最美的藝術。
![Riera's dedication to capturing the essence of his animal subjects is rooted in the idea that nature has already produced the most stunning creations of all.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/563dc351a5bfa.jpg)
