Xingbin Yang Marketing Center Interior Saturday, 30 December 2023

The Regeneration of Oriental Landscapes

The Regeneration of Oriental Landscapes is a marketing center located in Ningbo, China. The design takes its clues from the islands of Meishan, where waterways cross in many directions. Curved lines shape the plan, and still and moving areas alternate. Outside, a bamboo forest sways and casts light and shadow into the rooms.

Bada Chair

Jeongmin Ryu Chair Furniture Friday, 29 December 2023

Bada

Bada is a chair designed to encourage regular changes in sitting posture. Long periods of sitting place added pressure on the lower back. When a user leans into a bent posture, the seat plate rotates and creates an inclination of about eight degrees. The body then slides slowly, so the user is prompted to sit upright again. The body of the chair is made of solid white oak, and the connecting bar is made of stainless steel. Curved forms express the rotation and sliding of the seat. The chair measures 500 mm in width, 580 mm in depth and 750 mm in height.
