About Erhu Kerusi
Erhu ialah kerusi yang mendapat inspirasi daripada erhu, alat muzik bertali tradisional China. Reka bentuk ini menggunakan budaya kebangsaan sebagai bahasa perabot moden dan meneroka gaya kontemporari China. Strukturnya ringkas, hanya terdiri daripada dua bahagian: permukaan tempat duduk dan kaki. Belakang kerusi, permukaan tempat duduk dan kaki hadapan membentuk satu keping papan lapis lengkung yang ditekan dalam acuan yang telah disediakan. Permukaannya dilapis venir kayu abu dan walnut, manakala kaki diperbuat daripada kayu walnut. Bentuk kaki belakang mengingatkan kita kepada kaki berbentuk kuku perabot gaya Ming. Lengkungannya mengikut bentuk tubuh manusia.
