Designs on China (2)

An example is the King Chairs by Shao Fan of Beijing, born in 1964. With two versions, in black and red, they are antique Ming Dynasty style chairs made from wood with caned seats, divided by a central lacquer linear chair.

The starkly different materials so coherently combined create a subtle reminder of China's rapid transformation in recent decades.
