About Lotus Silla de Visita
Lotus es una silla de visita diseñada para presentar una interpretación del diseño tradicional de las sillas de la Dinastía Ming en un espacio moderno. El diseño se inspiró en una silla plegable de la Dinastía Ming que fue creada para permitir a los generales de alto rango mantener una postura de estatus durante sus salidas. Existe un proverbio chino que describe el crecimiento de la flor de loto: surge del lodo sin mancharse. La bondad, la calidez, la generosidad y la pureza de corazón son todas las emociones que la silla busca transmitir.

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.

- Inspiration
- Lotus is inspired bya very special chair from the Ming Dynasty. This was a folding chair design to be a gesture of status for someone of high government power when they’re on the go. What’s interesting is that this unique scenario resulted in a one of a kind design. The intersecting movement along with the archetype of a Chinese ceremonial chair is translated and captured through this new design. The result is an intersecting design with a unique lap joint and defined by a contrasting finish.
- Project Duration
- The project started as a design in October 2022 in Los Angeles and finished in March 2023 in Shanghai.
