Chair
Water Ripples

Chair for GOOD STYLE CREATIVE CO., LTD.

The work is based on the water ripples, and it turns the natural scene into an interactive rocking chair that allows you to sit or lie down on the chair as if the body swings carefreely along with the movements of water ripples. The characteristic of it is the flowing texture of water ripples. No matter indoors or outdoors, especially where there is light, its water ripples will show natural light and shadow through the ground. It's like a ripple sculpture with artistic conception when it is at rest; however, it becomes a fascinating piece of furniture when an interaction occurs.
