About Motichair 吧椅
Motichair係一張為就座同傾偈而設計嘅吧椅。個框架用圓形去連接各個支撐點，平衡受力之餘亦減少材料損耗。榫卯結構加上全隱藏式燕尾榫，令整體結構穩固。呢張椅用碳纖維複合材料結合蒸汽屈木製成。造型靈感源自中國古典園林嘅拱門同月洞門，圓形嘅開口帶嚟更開闊嘅視覺感受。雙色處理令各個圓形喺視覺上區分開嚟。

After analyzing the differences between their living habits and hip shape, we finally selected the most suitable radians of the curve from 17 models. After research and analysis, we worked out the ideal diameter of the circle that placing two chairs side by side, and the distance between the two circle centers is the most comfortable distance we think people can communicate with.
- Inspiration
- The design is inspired by the arches, moon gate in ancient chinese gardens, the circular holes designation brings broader visual sense, which also implies that there is no barrier between communication. Sitting in the chair, you can free your thoughts and keep your mind flow unobstructed. Besides, this design also syndicates fulfilled and perfect.The idea of the moon inspiration is because of the traditional Chinese festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival.We like to sit on chair and chat with friends and enjoy the moonlight.

- The chair deliberately adopts a two-color treatment design and separates the circles independently. This special shape will attract people's attention. The distance of the invisible pedals is based on a precise measurement after the person sits on the chair, and this distance just guides people to put their feet on the pedals
