The idea is to design useful object inspired by Asian element. Lin is the image of a Dragon, a creature covered with scales features in many Asian myths and the use of the embossed texture leather is to represent dragon scales.The chosen material and curve shape are to make it modern look, easy to mix and match with other objects regardless their style yet last a lifetime.Lin is a large size but quite easy to handle, and since it is a one piece structure, it is very strong that can sit or stand on it. A simple item and at the same time functional and can create certain ambiance to the space.
