About Lotus Gasstoel
Lotus is 'n gasstoel wat ontwerp is om 'n vertolking van tradisionele Ming-dinastie stoelontwerp vir 'n moderne ruimte te bied. Die ontwerp is geïnspireer deur 'n Ming-dinastie voustoel wat geskep is om hoogklas generaals toe te laat om 'n gebaar van status tydens 'n uitstappie te handhaaf. Daar is 'n Chinese spreekwoord wat die groei van 'n lotusbloem beskryf, uit die modder tog onbevlek. Goedheid, warmte, vrygewigheid, en suiwerheid van hart is almal emosies wat die stoel hoop om oor te dra.

The design was inspired by a Ming Dynasty folding chair that was created to allow high-class generals to maintain a gesture of status during an outing. There’s a Chinese idiom that describes the growth of a lotus flower, out of the mud yet unstained. Kindness, warmth, generosity, and pureness of heart are all emotions the chair hopes to convey.

The result is an intersecting design with a unique lap joint and defined by a contrasting finish.
