This is an outdoor bamboo chair designed to be placed in the parks. The design goal of the chair is to help people feel more comfortable and relaxed through unusual sitting postures when users are relaxing in the park. There are no suggested or specific sitting postures with the chair and it is up to the user to sit in whatever posture they prefer.

Embracing nature means being yourself and forgetting about the rules. Cultivate your most comfortable self, boldly explore, and discover the world. Discover an eclectic array of sitting postures, relax, and experience the essence of nature.

I believe the design concept of “less is more” often leads to a richer and more profound user experience. I am committed to integrating natural elements into furniture design, allowing users to connect with nature’s simplicity, spontaneity, and tranquility through visual, olfactory and tactile experiences.

I focus on creating pieces with a practical purpose and evoke a sense of calm and connection to the natural world. By embracing the beauty of minimalism and the essence of nature, my designs aim to provide a tranquil and relaxing experience for all who encounter them.
