The design of this series of unique chairs is inspired by the shape of ancient Chinese Ming-style furniture and chairs. The design fully considers Chinese aesthetics and life philosophy, and conducts in-depth thinking and innovation on the form and structure of contemporary Chinese-style furniture. The chair has the straight curve, soft color, and fine texture, which meets the comfort requirements of ergonomics. At the same time, on this basis, the designer also added elements of life that modern people pursue for leisure and relaxation, presenting a sense of nature, simplicity, and roundness, and enhancing the philosophy and artistry of the overall design.
The lines of the chair are designed in accordance with the aesthetics of balance in terms of straightness, angle arc and thickness. According to a certain proportion, the two opposing elements are maintained into an organic whole through connection and development, thereby forming a harmonious and balanced aesthetic feeling. When designing the exterior, it is different from traditional Ming-style wooden chairs, deliberately omitting complex carvings, and visually depicting the overall frame, The simplified new Chinese style has round and smooth lines, straight lines, and rich changes, which not only achieves a minimalist visual perception, but also adapts to modern elegant and quiet living space, full of philosophy and artistry.
The chair adopts a full mortise and tenon wood structure, combined with the line outline in the design. The stability of the frame structure can be maintained through a simple mortise and tenon structure, which can not only bear large loads but also allow certain deformation, replacing the traditional way of fixing with screws. Besides, the edge-removing design is adopted, and many smooth lines are incorporated into the details, without sharp edges or rough corners, so as to reduce the bump and damage of hard logs to users. It is very suitable for all kinds of people and brings an unparalleled experience.
