About Clover 하이 시팅(높은 좌석)
클로버는 원목으로 제작된 하이 스툴이다. 형태는 로마네스크 양식의 아치에서 영감을 받았으며, 상판은 네 잎 클로버 모양을 하고 있다. 각 잎은 공장에서 남은 작은 목재 조각들로 만들어졌으며, 자연스러운 나뭇결이 드러나는 모자이크 패턴으로 접합되었다. 곡선형 다리는 먼저 컴퓨터 제어 기계로 가공한 후 수작업 연마를 통해 정교하게 마무리된다. 중앙에 적용된 특수 장부 이음(모티스 앤 테넌) 구조가 네 개의 잎을 하나로 결합하여 구조적 안정성을 유지한다. 애시 또는 블랙 월넛이 사용되었으며, 하부에는 스테인리스 스틸 발받침 링이 적용되었다.

- Unique Properties
- Each "leaf" is made by pieces of scrap solid wood in mosaic pattern. The curvy stool legs are carved by digital control machine in the first step and then fine-tuned by hand polishing. The entire stool is connected by a unique mortise and tenon joint in the center to ensure a stable structure and break the traditional orthodox image of the woodwork at the same time. This piece of creature integrates modernity and heritage in terms of both design and crafts.

- Production Technology
- Using Chinese Sun Mao (mortise and tenon joint) technique to connect the four 'leaves' is highly stable. The curvy stool legs are carved by CNC digital control machine in the first step and then fine-tuned by hand polishing. The materials are nature ash or black walnut, with a ring of stainless steel at the bottom for footrest.
- Design Challenge
- The mortise and tenon joint in the center is specially designed and made for this product to provide its delicacy and stability. The bottom side is a three-dimensional surface, which requires careful hand polishing to ensure the proper contour. Each stool will be processed by eight times of polishing in different degree. It is also a sustainable product design as it has used leftover small wood logs in the factory.
- Research
- How to use pure wood to make a three-dimensional irregular shape, is one of the main issues for our designers and craftsmen. Considering the cost, without using one piece of large wood, we combine several small square pieces into a bunch and then carve the shape. In fact, most of these small pieces are the leftover materials for disposal in the factory, so we have achieved industrial waste reuse. In this way, it also enables a mosaic pattern on the surface, which discloses the beauty of natural wood.
- Inspiration
- The form is inspired by the classic Romanesque arch in the Western ancient architecture, showing the graceful contour and beautiful proportion. The surface is in the shape of the four-leaf clover, which symbolizes good omens for faith, hope, love and luck. Applying the adorable four-leaf clover shape and the classic Roman arch form on furniture, we hope to bring happiness and eternity to users.
- Project Duration
- The furniture was designed in March 2020 in Shanghai. The first sample was made in May 2020 and then continued to refine. It was final completed in Jan 2021.
- Operation Flow
- The petal-like surface makes it easy for people to sit on, in various direction, freely and flexibly. It is exquisite in shape but stable in structure with the mortise and tenon joint inside.
