UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The "Mua chair" line is simple and soft, with a turning point and a strong retraction. The armrests and the front legs and the hind legs are visually formed as if a piece of wood was opened and expanded, reflecting the concept of the growth of all things.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Production technology: wood bending process. Materials: Beech, North American walnut. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Product Size: 597*484*760 (mm) Product weight: 4.8 kg Product volume: 0.22 m3 TAGS: M,U,A RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Design background: I hope that designing a comfortable chair will also allow users to have a love of things and experience the aesthetics of life. Method: The ancient people's philosophical ideas were extracted, and the concept of the growth of all things was incorporated into the shape of the chair. In terms of aesthetics, the connection between the armrest and the stool leg grew like a piece of wood after being split. Incorporate the degree of line changes in traditional painting and calligraphy works into the lines of the chair, giving the shape a sense of integrity. CHALLENGE: The connection between the armrest and stool leg of the chair works like a piece of wood that grows after being split. These flowing curves increase the difficulty of production, and are also a great challenge to the production process. Before production, the designer prints out drawings and 3D printed models. Designers and woodworkers have discussed the appearance, dimensions, and craftsmanship many times to minimize errors in production and better restore the design of drawings. Designers use wood's hot bending technology to make handrails. In addition, the connecting part on the seat back has chosen the domino connection structure to restore the drawings as much as possible.
