About Erhu Stoel
Erhu is 'n stoel geïnspireer deur die erhu, 'n tradisionele Chinese snaarinstrument. Die ontwerp gebruik nasionale kultuur as 'n taal van moderne meubels en verken 'n hedendaagse Chinese styl. Die struktuur is eenvoudig, met slegs twee dele: die sitoppervlak en die pote. Die rugleuning, sitoppervlak en voorpoot vorm een stuk geboë triplekshout wat in 'n voorafgemaakte vorm gepers word. Die oppervlak is met es-hout en okkerneuthout ge-fineer, en die pote is van okkerneuthout gemaak. Die vorm van die agterpoot herroep die hoefvormige poot van Ming-styl-meubels. Die kurwes volg die menslike liggaam.
