Tell us about your creative practice, and how your work engages with Chinese design, society, environment or culture.

The design of the chair revolves around the material itself, and the wood of the chair surface and back mainly comes from the roots of trees that have been abandoned by the factory due to the difficulty of processing. The diameter of the root of the tree is certain, and the area is kept at about 20x 20cm square per piece, so the size and proportion of the overall chair are the most suitable data through design. Secondly, for the wood that constitutes the main body of the chair, the flaws on it, such as cracks, insect eyes, scarring, etc., are also part of the overall aesthetic feeling. The selection of wood for the chair surface comes from the heel of the same tree, its natural texture is symmetrical, and the four pieces of wood echo each other; in addition, the wood for the back of the chair is also mirror symmetrical, which is carefully selected to best reflect the beauty of the chair. The best choice. The aim is to make a standardized artistic furniture, which is more beautiful than practical. Through the ingenious design of the combination of the root part of the difficult-to-process leftover trees and the metal frame, and the combination of modular wood and designed metal fittings, people are aware of the greater possibility of waste materials.
