The Design

About Lotus Silyang Panauhin

Ang Lotus ay isang silyang panauhin na dinisenyo upang magdala ng modernong interpretasyon ng tradisyonal na disenyo ng silya mula sa Dinastiyang Ming para sa kontemporaryong espasyo. Ang disenyo ay kinuha mula sa inspirasyon ng isang tiklop na silya mula sa Dinastiyang Ming na nilikha upang payagan ang mga heneral na mataas ang ranggo na mapanatili ang kanilang postora ng katayuan sa panahon ng paglalabas. May isang Intsik na sawikain na naglalarawan sa paglaki ng bulaklak ng lotus—mula sa putik ngunit di-nadudungisan. Kabaitan, init ng kalooban, kagandahang-loob, at kadalisayan ng puso ang lahat ng damdaming nais ihatid ng silya.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Lotus is a guest chair designed to bring-forth a translation of traditional Ming Dynasty chair design for a modern space. The design was inspired by a Ming Dynasty folding chair that was created to allow high-class generals to maintain a gesture of status during an outing. There’s a Chinese idiom that describes the growth of a lotus flower, out of the mud yet unstained. Kindness, warmth, generosity, and pureness of heart are all emotions the chair hopes to convey.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 530 mm x Depth 550 mm x height 728 mm x seat height 475 mm
Tags: Chair, Chinese, Wood, Joinery, Minimal
Production Technology: "Lotus" features an intersecting design with a unique lap joint and defined by a contrasting finish. This version of the chair is fully manufactured in China, structured with traditional Chinese furniture wood joinery methods, seamless, sturdy, and clean.
Design Challenge: Communicating with manufacturer through prototyping and developing the structural joinery.
Inspiration: Lotus is inspired bya very special chair from the Ming Dynasty. This was a folding chair design to be a gesture of status for someone of high government power when they’re on the go. What’s interesting is that this unique scenario resulted in a one of a kind design. The intersecting movement along with the archetype of a Chinese ceremonial chair is translated and captured through this new design. The result is an intersecting design with a unique lap joint and defined by a contrasting finish.
Project Duration: The project started as a design in October 2022 in Los Angeles and finished in March 2023 in Shanghai.
