The Design

About Hui Loungetisch, Loungesessel

Hui ist ein Set von Loungemöbeln, bestehend aus einem Sessel und einem kleinen Tisch, entworfen zum Lesen und Teetrinken. Die Form der Ma-Tau-Mauer, ein Giebelelement der Huizhou-Architektur in China, wird in ein konstruktives und dekoratives Element der Möbel übersetzt. Das Set besteht aus Buchenholz, Leder und Glas und ist mit traditioneller chinesischer Zapfen-und-Schlitz-Handwerkskunst gefügt. Sitzkissen und Rückenlehne aus Leder sind weich und bieten dennoch ausreichend Halt. Der Tisch verfügt über zwei Ebenen, wobei die untere Ebene aus Leder Bücher und Zeitschriften aufnimmt. Ziel ist es, regionale Kultur in das moderne Zuhause zu bringen.
