The chubby chair is inspired by the Huishan clay figurine which is a traditional Chinese folk art in Wuxi, China, my hometown. The typical image of Huishan clay figurine is a chubby kid with a smile on the face, and the overall lines are smooth and rounded. I tried to incorporate this style into a home environment by designing a chair in a similar language. The original design used stainless steel as the body to provide well support, but due to the limitations of craftsmanship and cost, the first prototype was made of wood.
