The Fortunate Ruyi Chair
The Fortunate Ruyi Chair is a chair inspired by the Ruyi motif, a traditional Chinese symbol of good fortune. A classic chair shape forms the structural basis and is combined with a simplified Ruyi pattern. The pattern is duplicated and flipped, then overlapped and fused to form a curved seat and legs. Irregular curved lines, inner curves and outer tips create a sense of flow and an asymmetrical balance. The chair measures 500 mm in width, 600 mm in depth and 500 mm in height. Traditional culture is joined with modern aesthetics.
