Moon chair

=Moon
Designed by Shao FanBeijing, China
In the 'Chairs' series, Shao Fan plays with modern man's fascination with the Chinese language and Chinese ideograms or written characters.
The design is based very much on the Chinese ideogram and the frontal view of the chair evokes the image of the crescent moon. However the seat breaks away from the continuity of the upright back and comes forward towards the viewer.
