The Design

About Erhu Stolica

Erhu je stolica inspirisana erhuom, tradicionalnim kineskim žičanim instrumentom. Dizajn koristi nacionalnu kulturu kao jezik modernog namještaja i istražuje savremeni kineski stil. Konstrukcija je jednostavna, sa samo dva dijela: sjedišnom površinom i nogama. Naslon, sjedišna površina i prednja noga čine jedan komad savijenog šperploča presovanog u unaprijed napravljenom kalupu. Površina je furnirana jasenovim drvetom i orahom, dok su noge izrađene od oraha. Oblik zadnje noge podsjeća na nogu u obliku kopita karakterističnu za namještaj Ming stila. Krivine prate liniju ljudskog tijela.
