TENG by ziihome (find more here) is made of pure rattan, seeking to bring users closer to nature. the collection aims to offer comfort, alleviate restless and anxiety-inducing moments, and promote peaceful leisure moments at home. as far as the design of the pieces is concerned, the big rocking chair depicts the dynamics of flying birds with minimal lines from the side. meanwhile, the leisure chair and the small rocking chair draw from the lines of traditional chinese folk furniture, giving prominence to the beauty of the minimal curve.
