MOLT, a transformation of the Chinese chair, was inspired by Western design. MOLT used the idea of “anamorphosis” in the furniture to express distort perspective. The front angle appearing to be the ancient chair of Chinese emperor’s has a symbol of power, while the floating armrests represent honour, but when the experiencer walks around it. It transforms into a Western rocking chair with two elegant curved bands attached to the bottom of the legs.
