bamboo chair jun zi
58 x 43 x 87 cm / 5.2 kg


the bamboo chair jun zi by jeff dah-yue shi for dragon fly gallery - yisheyi project
is made of moso bamboo inclusive of component parts, with a simple geometric form.
the structure is composed of rounded box-shaped frames made of bamboo slats.
while the front view of the chair appears like a bamboo tunnel at the base, the side view
is similar to the chinese character which denotes 'a noble man' - in chinese literature and philosophy,
bamboo has been a symbol of a noble man.

the gaps between the bamboo frames provide the ventilation. each of the arches contribute
to its neat contour. when one sits on the chair, there is a slight bounce which reflects the
natural flexibility of the bamboo slats. the maximum load-bearing capacity for the chair is 200 kg.

without Frank Gehry, this would not exist.

Why are so many design fans such absolute A-Holes when it comes to giving kudos. Is it that hard to say its a nice chair? Some behave like they need to take every other designer down a peg. Too many know-it-alls and haters out there.

sorry, don't like this chair.
A lot of bamboo for nothing special or nice.

i don't know where i'd put one of those, but it's still a very nice design. I like the basket-like appearance (though it's not braided)
