About Erhu Stol
Erhu er en stol inspirert av erhu, et tradisjonelt kinesisk strengeinstrument. Designet bruker nasjonal kultur som et språk for moderne møbler og utforsker en samtidig kinesisk stil. Strukturen er enkel, med kun to deler: seteflaten og bena. Ryggen, seteflaten og forbenet danner ett stykke buet kryssfiner presset i en forhåndslaget form. Overflaten er finert med askefinér og valnøtt, og bena er laget av valnøtt. Formen på bakbenet minner om det hovformede benet i møbler i Ming-stil. Kurvene følger kroppens former.
