1. MING BENCH IN MING STYLE
INSPIRATION
The inspiration for the Ming Bench is rooted in the lookback on the Ming-style aesthetic tradition - a perfect combination of beauty and practicality. The buckle design on the seat surface reflects the delicate craftsmanship of Western furniture, enhancing comfort and adding layers. The square outline with scattered circular buckle design not only embodies geometric beauty but also resonates with the Chinese philosophical concept that heaven is like a dome covering the square earth, conveying cultural connotations of harmony and balance. The solid wood frame maintains the characteristic of the natural grain of wood in Ming-style furniture, showcasing clean lines and exquisite proportions. By combining traditional Eastern craftsmanship with Western modern aesthetics, using the common straight lines and gentle curves identified in Ming-style furniture as a basis, the "Ming Bench" is crafted to embody both modern aesthetics and traditional charm, suitable for contemporary spaces while rich in historical and cultural depth. The combination of the Ming bed end chair with the Kyle Bed and Sothis Bed serves as the essential furnishing part for a contemporary bedroom interior.

At the same time, the rattan design on the backrest and seat adds a soft texture to the sturdy frame, creating a visual balance with the chair's black solid wood frame.
The curves cleverly extend at the backrest and armrests, giving the overall design a modern feel without sacrificing comfort. The breathability of rattan not only enhances the chair's practicality but also allows users to feel the warmth and friendliness of natural materials.
