Ginkgo Chair


The Ginkgo Chair is a plywood chair designed for both domestic and public uses. The seat and back are come out of the same mold and connected with butterfly tenons. The gap between two plywood boards allows legs to come through and makes the chair stackable.

Rainbow Project


When a focused light source shines on the surface of a CD, the rainbow spectrum of the CD is projected onto the table or wall. As a once-abandoned medium, the CD has found a new application in lighting. 

The square glass box evokes memories of turntables from the last century, while the marble light source resembles a monument. The light passes through the glass box and combines with the CD’s rainbow spectrum, creating a unique play of light and shadow. In this application, the old medium reveals new visual qualities.



Puzzel Table


The Puzzle Table is a material-saving and flat-packed table that all its components can be made from a single plywood sheet. These components are constrained and locked to each other to make the table stable and functional. 

By using the same structure, we developed Puzzle Tea-Table and Puzzle Bench as well. A standard plywood sheet can make two 1200x600mm tea-tables and two 1600x350mm benches.

Ginkgo Lounge


Ginkgo Lounge chair is an extension of the Ginkgo chair. We use the same butterfly tenon method to connect the seat surface and the chair back. 

The wide seat cushion and raised backrest guarantee the comfort of this chair. The zero-gravity angle design allows for complete relaxation in this chair. The chair is available with or without a headrest, as well as with metal and aluminum base.



Dough Sofa


The design of the sofa draws inspiration from curled dough, with its asymmetrical form breaking away from monotony to create a sense of warmth and intimacy in any space. Whether placed in a public setting or a private residence, it seamlessly integrates into its surroundings.

Inside, a flat frame structure enables the standardized production of uniquely shaped sofas, enhancing manufacturing efficiency without compromising on design.



Dough Sofa Modular


The Modular Dough Sofa is an evolution of the original Dough Sofa, designed to offer greater flexibility and adaptability. It consists of five individual modules that can be freely rearranged to create various configurations, including L-shape, C-shape, O-shape, and S-shape. 

This modular design allows it to seamlessly fit into public spaces of different sizes and functions, catering to diverse seating needs while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. 



Arc  Lounge


Arc Lounge is a modular high-back lounge chair designed for modern office and public spaces. Its smooth, curved silhouette combined with warm plywood panels not only offers visual elegance but also creates a comfortable and private enclosure. 

The modular design allows Arc Lounge to be freely configured to adapt to various spatial needs, whether used individually, for face-to-face meetings, or to form a semi-enclosed discussion area, providing an ideal user experience.



Shell  Chair


The shell chair showcases an innovative three-panel plywood construction that combines structural rigidity with ergonomic comfort through precisely calculated curves. Available in multiple configurations, this distinctive seating solution includes bar stool, dining chair, and task chair variants to suit different environments.


Fip-flop  Chair


The Flip-flop chair is a chair with a minimalist design. The shape of the backrest is reversed to become the shape of the base. This chair seeks a balance between simplicity and utility. The hollowed-out back design allows the chair to be hung on a table or stacked for easy cleaning or space-saving purposes. The chair can be used indoor or outdoor.





CWU  Seating


The CWU Seating series is a setting collection developed for public spaces, including chairs, lounges, and sofas. We provide various base options including metal, wooden and aluminum bases to suit different occasions. 

The combination of plywood and upholstery adds a warm feeling to the space. The shape and angle of the cushion are carefully designed to provide a comfort sitting feeling. The collection is suitable for the lobby, work area, or home.
