Yǎng Chair cannot be defined from the moment it is born.

The 1960s architect Peter Smithson believed this was a cuteness specific to chairs: "Few people collect cupboards, dressers, or stools, but chairs are very common, perhaps because we think of chairs as part of our homes. Pets have legs, feet, arms, and backs.”

When Yǎng Chair came out, it won the 2021 German Design Red Dot Award, and it also made more people become "chair collectors" without hesitation.

If asked why choose? In addition to general answers like honor and design, maybe we can give you other answers.

Why the name "Yǎng"?
Yǎng, the same pronunciation as "look up" in Chinese, is inspired by the "simulation of living things". Because of the curly design shape of the back of the product, the chair as a whole looks like a little person with its head "raised".

▲Yǎng Chair was originally designed by Chen Min Office for Jianze. It originated from the designer's thinking on the essence of "sitting": "How to make people who sit feel comfortable and relaxed." Its overall shape is like a person resting with his head raised, giving people a relaxing appearance. At the same time, the large backrest and stable structure evenly share the body pressure, allowing people to use the chair without being restricted by posture, and it is comfortable in any posture.

A handful of "Yǎng" fantastic anecdotes.
Creation requires fantastic ideas, a series of flashes of inspiration and an open mind, no matter how you use it.

The Yǎng Chair's ergonomic design and toughness enable it to withstand all kinds of "strange" tests.

Comfortable sitting is always associated with complex human-machine structures, and Yǎng Chair is realized with a simple structure.

▲The Yǎng Chair has a wide back and can be flipped backwards to extend the platform. It can not only give the back enough coverage and support, but also allow people to sit sideways and lean on it, or rest their arms. The slightly forward-stretched seat surface allows the body to stretch further, allowing the whole person to relax freely.

The Yǎng Chair will not go out of style in any space. Whether it is Chinese style, Nordic style, Japanese style or Italian style, it can be perfectly blended into other home furnishings without being inferior. It has both elegance and Zen. It is The unbeatable choice in mix and match.

Perhaps every chair lover has such a scene in their mind: the silent moment when you pass by "Yǎng" at dusk or early morning, and you get a startling glance but it will linger in your heart for a long time.
