About Liyue Sella Brachiata
Liyue est sella brachiata quae traditiones supellectilis Sinensis cum forma a schola Bauhaus inspirata coniungit. Consilium ex antiqua cultura rituum musicaeque Sinensium haustum est atque eius sensum ordinis et rhythmi refert. Structura sedium ligneorum traditionalium retinetur, dum materiae modernae sellam interioribus hodiernis aptari sinunt. Partes ex polypropylene et polyamide redintegrabilibus factae machinatione computatro directa formantur. Dorsuale firmum curvatumque corpus sustinet et hominibus diversae staturae convenit. Sella 550 in 450 in 750 millimetra metitur.

- Unique Properties
- The formation background of Chinese "LIYUE" is based on the harmony between heaven and earth, the spirit of "music" and the natural order of heaven and earth. "Harmony" (the spirit of Music), so everything can be incarnated. Designers grab the beauty of rules and rhythms in the "etiquette and music culture" to create this chair that combines Chinese and Western cultures, and continue the etiquette and music culture developed with human civilization in an innovative form.

- Production Technology
- Liyue adopts more modern production materials, which not only retains the structure of traditional wooden seats, but also facilitates the integration of products into modern interior decoration without being abrupt.
The distance from the stool face of the chair to the ground and the whole height form a ratio of 9:37. At the same time, the distance from the dummy standard line at the waist to the ground and the whole height form an approximate golden ratio of 5:8. - Design Challenge
- Good design means as few designs as possible, which is also the consistent design concept of Liyue.
- Research
- The firm and accurate arc backrest keeps the body against the curve to ensure that the user can get effective support when lying down. The circular arc shape maximizes the user's reclining space, enables the chair to adapt to people of different body types, and ensures that every user can get the best care.
- Inspiration
- This is a Chinese armchair with Bauhaus style. It gives new life to Chinese furniture with the main tone of ancient Chinese "LIYUE" culture and the simple modern style.
- Project Duration
- The project was launched in Nanchang, China in December 2021 and completed in Nanchang, China in February 2022.
- Operation Flow
- Polypropylene environmental protection plastic material is processed by CNC machining center, which can achieve 99.9% recycling rate. Some ingredients are American DuPont PA materials, which are non-toxic, odorless, 100% recyclable and conform to the concept of sustainable development.
It is the minimalism that Liyue pursues by simplifying parts and components and maximizing the ease of use of products to achieve beautiful and durable results. - Team Members
