bamboo chair by jun zi


bamboo chair by jun zi

the bamboo chair by jun zi is made of bamboo inclusive of component parts,
with a simple geometric form. the structure is composed of rounded box-shaped frames
made of bamboo slats. while the front view of the chair appears like a bamboo tunnel
at the base, the side view is similar to the chinese character which denotes 'a noble man' -
in chinese literature and philosophy, bamboo has been a symbol of a noble man.

the gaps between the bamboo frames provide the ventilation. each of the arches contribute
to its neat contour. when one sits on the chair, there is a slight bounce which reflects the
natural flexibility of the bamboo slats.
