About Square or Circle څوکۍ
د ژین چن د ډیزاین اصلي اهداف د مختلف کلتورونو خبرې کول او د فرنیچر تعریف کولو لپاره نوی تجربه وړاندې کول دي. هغه د فرنیچر جوړولو نوې لاره رامینځته کړې چې ټولې انفرادي برخې سره یوځای کیږي او دوی د رسی له لارې یوځای ساتي پرته له فشار او سکرو پرته د فشار له لارې. هغه د فرنیچر نمایندګۍ نوې ب createdه هم جوړه کړې چې فرنیچر په انفرادي ټوټو تقسیموي ، بیا یې تنظیم او نوي کلتوري عکس نمایندګۍ ته بدلوي. ډیزاین کولی شي په ورته وخت کې د خلکو لپاره دواړه فعال او جمالیات سره مطمین وي.

- Unique Properties
- This chair is called Square or Circle. The most interesting feature is that the chair is held together by tension, and can be disassembled into individual pieces, which can then be rearranged and transformed into a representation of the Chinese instrument, a Liuqin. This design can satisfy both functional and aesthetic needs. Meanwhile, it also allows people to carry it easily because all parts can be dismantled for transportation.

- Research
- The purpose of this design is to inspire people to think and appreciate differently about furniture. The chair is not only a piece of functional furniture but also attracts people to explore different cultural traditions. The design applies some Chinese elements to represent Chinese cultures, such as the color of Chinese red, and the yin and yang circle which is from the traditional Chinese philosophy.
- Inspiration
- This design is inspired by a traditional Chinese instrument Liuqin and the Italian Strozzi chair. The purpose of the design is to communicate the different cultures of Eastern and Western to modern audiences. I want to explore the cultural differences and similarities by using my design as a vehicle because I am experiencing it.
