Heng Chair

a Chinese philosophical research

The design of Heng chair comes from a philosophical research into traditional Chinese calligraphy.

As the saying goes, the simplest stroke is the most difficult character to write. By capturing the essence of Chinese calligraphy, the shape of Heng chair is derived, using simple and elegant brushstroke-like lines to express the philosophy of simplicity.

In addition, the in-line backrest and spindle-shaped structural support also provide perfect ergonomic comfort.

Dedicated to doing everything well, Heng chair returns to the original in terms of materials, and strives for excellence in design and craftsmanship. This is the expression of the essence of calligraphy philosophy in furniture.
