"As a young designer, I used this practical to develop and discover my artistic language. I took inspiration from Khai Liew, vernacular designs from the Ming Dynasty, Europe, and Australia, as well as the intriguing explosion of furniture in the mid-century. I aimed to design a piece which emulated “stillness” from my interpretation: calm – simplicity – grace; a chair which fits into the room it is in; a versatile design meant to be used daily and in every moment. The minimalistic angles, parallels, and squares, paired with Australian black walnut and weave work simultaneously to create a chair which nestles into and enhances the beauty of a space, blending simple aesthetics with functionality and grace."
