About Hui Loungetisch, Loungesessel

Hui ass en Set vu Lounge-Mobilien, deen aus engem Stull an engem klengen Dësch besteet, entwéckelt fir ze liesen an Téi ze drénken. D'Form vun der Ma Tau Wand, engem Giebelelement vun der Huizhou-Architektur a China, gëtt an en strukturellt an decoratiivt Element vum Mobiliar transforméiert. Den Set ass aus Bichenholz, Lieder a Glas gemaach, a mat traditioneller chinesescher Zapfen- an Zapfeloch-Handwierkskonscht zesummegesat. Den Lieder-Kissen an d'Réckenlehn sinn wäich a bidden genuch Ënnerstëtzung. Den Dësch huet zwou Schichten, woubäi déi ënnescht Lieder-Schicht Bicher a Zäitschrëften hält. D'Zil ass et, regional Kultur an den modernen Doheem ze bréngen.
