Hui
Hui is a set of lounge furniture, made up of a chair and a small table, designed for reading and drinking tea. The form of the Ma Tau Wall, a gable element of Huizhou architecture in China, is transformed into a structural and decorative part of the furniture. The set is made of beech, leather and glass, joined with traditional Chinese mortise and tenon craftsmanship. The leather cushion and backrest are soft and give sufficient support. The table has two layers, and the lower leather layer holds books and magazines. The intent is to bring regional culture into the modern home.
