Dynastic Rocker by Kirs Chang Chien from taiwan
designer's own words:
In China, jiaoyi, an ancient folding chair, is synonymous to power.
The one who is in the first jiaoyi is the highest authority.
Quite differently, in the West, a rocking chair offers you the freedom to relax.
Dynasty Rocker is inspired by the Chinese jiaoyi and the Western rocking chair.
It’s a combination of two chairs in sharp contrast, merging the East and the West.
The austerity of a jiaoyi is diluted with a sense of relaxation.
Dynasty Rocker is light as cloud, resting between the moving and the static.
The clear lines and metallic touch give it a sense of modernity,
The ancient jiaoyi is therefore transformed into a new image across time and culture.
