Arc

Furniture Series for Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts

This series of furniture is inspired by the arcs of the Taihang Mountains in Shanxi Province, China. Through the extraction of the local lines of the Taihang Mountain, combined with the supporting structure of each furniture monomer, it evolved into a powerful and sharp furniture shape. The overall style is clean and concise, giving people a sense of lightness and modernity. After the mechanical analysis and research of the support structure, the line of the mountain range of Taihang Mountain is refined and the basic frame of the series furniture is beautified.

The use of clear hard glass panels breaks the dullness of leather and white steel. The mixed use of different texture and characteristic materials will make this series of furniture more exploratory.
