Inspired by the human female pelvis, the taboo chair is made of a special organic degradable no-fire clay, which is based on the traditional Chinese rammed earth construction concept, using topology optimization algorithms to improve the overall structure to ensure that it can withstand 1000 Nm of downforce while maintaining the bionic structure.The material used in the chair was invented to respond to the current call for energy saving and emission reduction, and can be degraded to organic fertilizer in landfills under suitable conditions.

In 1981, the Department of Arts and Crafts was established in Nanjing University of th Arts, and at the same time, the Ceramics Studio was established, and in the fall of 1984, the first 12 students were enrolled in the Ceramics Art Department. Initially, the focus of teaching was to serve the purpose of training professional designers for ceramic production. Later, the teaching idea gradually changed from practical ceramic design to ceramic art creation and design. In the new era, the teaching of ceramic art has taken on new characteristics. The teaching content is broad and flexible. Professors and students explored experimental fields together, and research results won many top international prizes in contemporary art, design and craft. The Ceramics Studio of Nanjing University of the Arts is now the most experimental and pioneering ceramics research institute among Chinese universities.
