About Hui Loungebord, loungestol
Hui er et sett med loungemøbler, bestående av en stol og et lite bord, designet for lesing og tedrikking. Formen til Ma Tau-veggen, et gavlelement fra Huizhou-arkitekturen i Kina, er transformert til en strukturell og dekorativ del av møblene. Settet er laget av bøk, lær og glass, sammenføyd med tradisjonelt kinesisk tapp-og-hull-håndverk. Lærputen og ryggstøtten er myke og gir tilstrekkelig støtte. Bordet har to lag, og det nedre lærlaget holder bøker og blader. Hensikten er å bringe regional kultur inn i det moderne hjemmet.
