Chair Speaks


Designed by Lorna Zhang, Yichen Li, and Pei-yu Hung 

Model: Dora Soong
Project Brief



Chair speaks. This is a chair representing an eloquent exploration of design, seamlessly marrying form and functionality. Meticulously crafted with a keen focus on both elegance and utility, this chair showcases a synthesis of advanced techniques, including steam bending, wood joints, screwing, and gluing. To be noted that some of the materials are found scraps from woodshop, it is a challenge to to edit and rearrange them into this new design and explore the utility of different materials. Many thanks to Pei-yu who generously provided the steam bends.
