"Bamboo Softness•Dialogue" is a versatile seating design. This chair follows three key flowing lines, evoking simplicity, subtlety, seamless integration, and endlessly continuous curves. These lines create an asymmetric profile for the entire artistic seating, connecting different functional areas like the desk, backrest, and seat. It accommodates various comfortable postures, allowing users to sit, lean, recline, and curl up effortlessly.

In Chinese cultural philosophy, time and space are perceived as ceaselessly evolving, never stagnant, and everyday life is regarded as a beautiful journey. This chair aims to let individuals savor every enjoyable moment while sitting on it through its interconnected surfaces.

The designer drew inspiration from the natural flexibility and rounded curves found in bamboo fibers. After numerous experiments with bamboo fiber by hand and continuous adjustments through computer simulations, they achieved smooth and comfortable surfaces. These contours seamlessly conform to the human body, providing a relaxed and natural sensation.
