JIANZE ft. VILLE KOKKONEN
LOUNGE CHAIR
This chair is part of Jianze’s bamboo research project in collaboration with Finnish designer Ville Kokkonen, exploring Chinese bamboo species for their distinctive natural forms and structural qualities.
The frame is handcrafted from solid Zong Zhu bamboo sourced from southern China by Yinshi craftsmen, using techniques passed down through generations. Each naturally curved bamboo element is individually measured and shaped according to its unique form.
A laminated moulded seat in plywood and oak veneer complements the bamboo structure, balancing visual lightness, material expression and seating comfort.
