Eave

Stool

2023

A stool inspired by the roofs of houses in the area south of the Yangtze River, elegantly outlining the architectural framework. It combines the warmth of wood with the coolness of metal to create sensory contrast, seamlessly integrating ancient aesthetics into modern life.

The grain
meets the metal

The blackened wood provides a warm, tactile quality with its natural grain and smooth surface, while the raw finish steel introduces an industrial and rougher texture.

Sculptural presence
in the space

Eave is primarily designed for hotel lobbies and museum lounge areas, providing a brief resting function while emphasizing the atmospheric feel and artistic elements of the space.
