Bamboo Chair Nostalgia, Warm Memories of Bygone Days.
Designer: Zhou Anbin Year: 2023
or many, a bamboo chair lingers in their childhood memories—square-shaped, sturdy and durable, it accompanies its owner through countless seasons.Though it seems to be simply assembled from a few bamboo poles, it actually embodies profound traditional Chinese craftsmanship, embodying the lifelong patience of veteran artisans. Placed quietly in the courtyard, these chairs soak up the sunshine and listen to the laughter and chatter of people after meals.A palm-leaf fan, a pot of hot tea, and a bamboo chair smoothed by the passage of time—each one carries the warmth of its owner.
The Zhizhu Chair draws its design inspiration from the shape of traditional bamboo chairs. We use a combination of metal, wood and leather upholstery, extract the structural elements of bamboo chair backrests, and reinterpret them with clean, sleek lines. This creates a chair that is more aligned with modern aesthetic tastes and suitable for coordinating with various home décor styles.We hope the Zhizhu Chair can often evoke people’s warm memories and convey the life philosophy of "contentment brings joy".
The structural elements of traditional bamboo chair backrests are reimagined with clean, sleek metal. The artful combination and assembly of metal pieces—varying between square and round shapes, thick and thin gauges—achieve a subtle visual balance, shaping a form that is both structured, sturdy and elegantly fluid.
The interplay of different colors and materials creates distinct personalities and styles. With four styles available in total, there is always one perfect for you.
The glossy stainless steel frame, paired with soft black leather and a black wood-grain backrest, adopts the iconic color scheme of Bauhaus to present the sleek, contemporary vibe of post-modern minimalism.
The black wrought iron frame is paired with classic khaki leather and a black wood-grain backrest, creating a retro trio that adds a warm touch to any home.
The glossy stainless steel frame, paired with the smooth and soft cream leather seat and back cushions, exudes an aura of gentle elegance.
The backrest is crafted from solid wood. Its curved contact surface fits the body perfectly, providing steady support and a comfortable, wrap-around feeling. The steel tubes on both sides extend from the top down to the front legs, further enhancing the stability of the backrest.
Concealed screw craftsmanship is adopted for the connection between the backrest and the metal frame, resulting in cleaner, sleeker lines on the back. A metal logo adorns the rear of the seat cushion, enriching the product details and adding a refined touch to the Zhizhu Chair.
