72°stool presents traditional Ming furniture elements in a modern process and aesthetic.

The embroidered pier is a traditional Ming female seating piece, most often in five repeated, hollow shapes; the rounded shape serves both to decorate and to harmonize with other square furniture. 72°stool transforms the original complex woodworking carvings into a modernized metal bending tube, and retains its hollow, five-part shape, leaving only the wooden seat surface as a matching decoration.
