Two-By Series Chair in Burnt Wood
Located in London, GB
Standardized, but not standardized. exists a frame, but creating a new frame from there. called the same, built can be different. TWO-BY SERIES is works made by stacking layers of structural wood called two-by SPUSE. Just like stone masonry, standardized two-by woods repeats stacking. Through the repetitive process, it is reminiscent of the work technique of abstract painting that returns to the basics of the structure (dot-line-surface) and approaches the pure sculpture of the material. They are reinterpreted in the natural pure form of the material across the function. The purpose of use is no longer important. The way to utilize them found in the construction site is to minimize the demand for function and to realize the beauty of free form. Dimension: 39 cm x 28 cm x 147 cm H. Additional info: The wooden box is included in the price. TWO-BY SERIES is made by stacking layers of structural wood called SPUSE. They use wood that has been dried for more than three months to minimize distortion. The Nak-Song finishing process refers to the repeated process of burning and brushing their surfaces with the finishing of traditional Korean wood...

Chinese Roundback Chair, circa 1850
Located in Chicago, IL
Prior to the 10th century, Chinese society eschewed raised seats in favor of mats. The rising popularity of chairs and other forms of elevated seating led craftsmen to adapt traditional cabinetry and architecture techniques to the human body. In the case of this Yuanyi, or round chair, the flowing crestrail is a direct descendant of the simple armrests that had traditionally supported individuals on mats in their homes. This homage to an ancestral form, combined with traditional mortise-and-Tenon joinery techniques, created an elegant, functional chair that has endured for centuries and inspired many contemporary furniture designers...

33 Step Chair Large Polished Brass Bone Chair by Zhipeng Tan
By Zhipeng Tan
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
This visceral and sculptural chair is designed and made by renown artist Zhipeng Tan. Size and color is customizable upon request, lead time is 45-60 days. We ship internationally. Since graduating with an industrial design degree from the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, Zhipeng Tan has focused on the ancient technique of lost-wax casting. Through this foundry process, rich in heritage and tradition, Tan explores his interest in organic forms. Often inspired by his environmental surroundings, such as water and plants, he explores anthropomorphic themes, as well. Though trained as an industrial designer, he has become an accomplished self-taught sculptor, eagerly exploring the elastic and permeable boundaries between art and design and finding a harmonious fusion of sculpture and furniture, provocative objects of both beauty and utility. Though from his early work, one may sense the influence of Joan Miró, Henry Moore and Constantin Brancusi, and in his more recent pieces there is a nod to the Post-Pop sensibilities of Jeff Koons and Takashi Murakami, the work of Zhipeng Tan is thoroughly original, an expression of his exuberance and imagination. In all of his work, one may see an exploration of our fundamental humanity and a desire to discover worlds within worlds. From the 33 Step Chair...

Tan’s practice, since graduating from the China Academy of Art, has been focused on the ancient technique of lost-wax casting. This ancient foundry process has created an intersection between Tan’s interest in heritage casting techniques and organic forms. The forms designed by Tan vary from being environmental (water drops, tree roots) to being figurative (spinal cords, pelvic structures). The Lily collection brings together the botanical and human motifs most explicitly. The tension between the two references cause the works to become abstracted and take on a slightly surreal quality, whilst maintaining functionality. The 33 step chair...

Combo Armchair has extracted some of the most representative techniques in the history of handmade upholstered furniture process, and reinvented ‘classic’ with modern design language through interesting module combination. Each technology, such as pleated edge, piping, button-style pull buckles, carries the innovation of material technology and the rise of aesthetic trend of thought in the background of different times. Combo Armchair uses wool and fabrics to carry on the modular extension and the splicing, conveys a sense of industrial and futuristic with the metal adding in. Besides, various color schemes can fit in users’demands under different situation. While saluting to the classic, just like its name - ‘Combo’, this armchair shows amusing ‘combination’, a sense of rhythm from ‘small music band’ and a dramatic feeling of ‘combo effect’ when you play in the electronic games...
