About Liyue New Furniture
Liyue is an armchair that combines Chinese furniture traditions with a Bauhaus-inspired form. The design is drawn from ancient Chinese ritual and music culture and reflects its sense of order and rhythm. The structure of traditional wooden seats is retained, while modern materials allow the chair to fit into contemporary interiors. Recyclable polypropylene and polyamide parts are shaped by computer-controlled machining. The firm curved backrest supports the body and suits people of different sizes. The chair measures 550 by 450 by 750 mm.

- Liyue adopts more modern production materials, which not only retains the structure of traditional wooden seats, but also facilitates the integration of products into modern interior decoration without being abrupt.
The distance from the stool face of the chair to the ground and the whole height form a ratio of 9:37. At the same time, the distance from the dummy standard line at the waist to the ground and the whole height form an approximate golden ratio of 5:8. - Design Challenge
- Good design means as few designs as possible, which is also the consistent design concept of Liyue.
- Research
- The firm and accurate arc backrest keeps the body against the curve to ensure that the user can get effective support when lying down. The circular arc shape maximizes the user's reclining space, enables the chair to adapt to people of different body types, and ensures that every user can get the best care.
