Inspired by the paper toy windmill, The Wind Chair was originally inspired by the idea of giving the wind a shape and turning it into a piece of furniture. The overall structure consists of four bentwood panels that are vacuum-fitted to a CNC machined mold for shaping, the overall structure is provided with resin glue for strength, the curved surfaces of the four panels provide good support for the entire chair and will deform slightly to fit the sitting position when actually used, this is undoubtedly a breakthrough chair.
