Inspiration: The leisure sofa chair, inspired by modern styles, takes minimalism, scientifically reasonable construction, and a deep understanding of material properties as the core. By skillfully combining a structured solid wood frame with soft upholstery, the design team has created a comfortable sofa chair that not only fully embodies rational aesthetics but also boasts remarkable recognizability.
Project Duration: This project started in Beijing in January 2024 and completed in June 2024.
Operation Flow: To enhance the user experience, the design team has utilized the padding with excellent resilience and support, while also innovating curved surfaces based on ergonomics. Besides, the lowered seat and armrests, as well as the backrest with an optimal tilt angle, ensure the chair can well fit the human body to avoid physical fatigue from prolonged sitting, offering users a comfortable space to relax.
