About Hui 라운지 테이블, 라운지 체어

Hui는 의자와 작은 테이블로 구성된 라운지 가구 세트로, 독서와 차 음용을 위해 디자인되었습니다. 중국 후이저우(徽州) 건축의 박공 요소인 마터우창(馬頭墻)의 형태가 가구의 구조적이면서도 장식적인 부분으로 재해석되었습니다. 이 세트는 너도밤나무, 가죽, 유리로 제작되었으며 중국 전통의 장부 결합(짜맞춤) 기법으로 접합되었습니다. 가죽 쿠션과 등받이는 부드러우면서도 충분한 지지력을 제공합니다. 테이블은 두 개의 층으로 이루어져 있으며, 아래쪽 가죽 층에는 책과 잡지를 보관할 수 있습니다. 지역 문화를 현대의 주거 공간으로 끌어들이고자 하는 의도를 담고 있습니다.
