T Chair was inspired by English letter “T” shape and combined with the design of traditional Chinese back chair. It can also provide the function of storage (e.g books) under the chair seat and the function of hanging small bag on the “T” shape’s chair back.

Under the down part of T Chair, it is more considered about the high transparency, high permeability and open structure form. Each open structure grid has standard form so as to create the feeling of orderliness.

In the front view of T Chair, it is used symmetry design to make a balance feeling of the chair. In Traditional Chinese culture, a lot of things, like architecture, furniture or spacing design, are adopted symmetry in their main designs.

T Chair was to combine the element of Western and Eastern cultures as a group to form a new piece of Chinese modern back chair.
