About Hui Meja Santai, Kursi Santai
Hui adalah satu set furnitur santai yang terdiri atas sebuah kursi dan sebuah meja kecil, dirancang untuk membaca dan menikmati teh.

Set ini terbuat dari kayu beech, kulit, dan kaca, yang disatukan dengan teknik sambungan pen dan lubang (mortise and tenon) khas kriya tradisional Tiongkok. Bantalan dan sandaran punggung berbahan kulit terasa lembut serta memberikan dukungan yang memadai. Mejanya memiliki dua tingkat, dan lapisan kulit di bagian bawah berfungsi menyimpan buku dan majalah. Tujuannya adalah menghadirkan budaya lokal ke dalam hunian modern.
