designer's own words:
The teenagers are up growth very fast. The furniture fit for the body size of a 14 years old child will soon be unfit for the same child just in six months or one year. Wish to catch up with the rapid up growth of teenagers, the new furniture has a very simple original shape—a series of slim wood strips linked with alloy haulms. It can be curved and shaped to chairs and rocking chairs. By re-curved and reshaped, the chair can be reformed, fit itself for bigger children. The chair also can be reformed to rocking chair for the relaxation.
Still more, a very important nature of teenagers is the long for self-dependence. The alloy haulms are easy to be curved by the teenagers or by the helps with their parents. So that, the height, the curvature, etc. every details of the furniture can be adjusted to fit the child’s body perfect. And, it provides the chances for unlimited imagination of teenagers.
