Lattice Chair Weaving Armchair

Warm honey-toned bentwood strips define Chen Kuan-Cheng's Lattice Chair Weaving Armchair, commanding attention through an extraordinary interplay of organic curvature and structural precision where multiple laminated wooden slats flow continuously from backrest through seat to form an interwoven lattice pattern that recalls traditional basket weaving techniques elevated to furniture-scale craftsmanship. The compositional architecture follows a dynamic asymmetrical balance as the chair occupies the right-center of the frame, positioned at a three-quarter angle that reveals both the elegant sweep of the armrests and the intricate undulating rhythm of the woven seat surface. The chromatic palette operates within a sophisticated analogous harmony of warm earth tones, ranging from pale blonde beech or ash tones in the solid frame elements to deeper caramel and amber hues in the flexible woven strips, creating subtle tonal gradations that emphasize the dimensional quality of each curved element. Natural daylight enters from the upper left at approximately forty-five degrees, producing crisp directional illumination that models the cylindrical cross-sections of each wooden member while casting a dramatic elongated shadow onto the polished concrete floor behind, this shadow itself becoming a compelling graphic element that echoes and abstracts the lattice pattern into a flattened silhouette of remarkable visual interest. The spatial construction employs shallow depth with a neutral gray concrete wall establishing the background plane, its subtle textural variations and panel seams providing minimal architectural context that allows the organic warmth of the wood to dominate through temperature contrast. Surface texture reads as simultaneously smooth and rhythmic, the sanded wood surfaces appearing silken to touch while the repetitive undulation of woven elements creates optical texture through pattern and shadow. The foreground introduces narrative elements through carefully placed props, an open art book displaying monochromatic photography and tortoiseshell reading glasses resting casually on the concrete floor, suggesting intellectual leisure and the contemplative moments this seating invites. Stylistically, the work demonstrates clear affinities with Scandinavian modernist furniture traditions and the bentwood innovations pioneered by historical masters, while the weaving technique references vernacular craft heritage transformed through contemporary design sensibility into something entirely fresh and structurally innovative.

The word “lattice” means lines intertwined with, and intersecting, each other horizontally and vertically.Especially use Taiwan's high-quality bamboo with excellent toughness,combines bamboo craft into woodcraft via weaving bamboos and bent woods together. By preserving and integrating the flexibility of bamboos and the firmness of wood, so weight of the chair is only 4 kg, but it can withstand more than 120 kg, the lighter weight allows the elderly and children to move around more easily.
Single-sided armrest design allows users to sit in a variety of ways, more free and flexible.
