About Erhu Stóll

Erhu er stóll innblásinn af erhu, hefðbundnu kínversku strengjahljóðfæri. Hönnunin notar þjóðmenningu sem tungumál nútíma húsgagna og kannar samtímalega kínverska stílinn. Byggingin er einföld og samanstendur aðeins af tveimur hlutum: setflötinn og fótunum. Stólbakið, setflöturinn og framfóturinn mynda eina heild úr sveigðum krossviði sem pressaður er í forsteyptu móti. Yfirborðið er klætt með asks- og valhnetuviði, og fæturnir eru úr valhnetuviði. Lögun afturfótarins minnir á hófslaga fótinn í húsgögnum í Ming-stíl. Sveigjurnar fylgja línum mannslíkamans.
