- Free like a Bird
With the ability to roam the earth and soar up into the sky, birds are natural symbols of freedom. Capturing this free spirit of the birds as well as the duality of their solitary and social nature, Plover is a collection of chairs co-created by architect Eravolution Limited and a group of THEi product design students, either used individually or collectively for brainstorming, seminars and co-creation.
The Plover chairs may appear delicate, but they got everything one needs. - Project Duration
- The project was first launch in 2019 at China International Furniture Fair (Guangzhou), March 2019.
