Here is the story of my work:
Influence- I made 8 pcs of Maloof style low-back chairs and 2 pcs occasional chairs as practice projects before this easy chair.
Style- Searching for the beautiful design elements from Danish chairs.
Material- Looking for the balance no matter on both color and grains.
Precision- Got experience from the first 10 pcs chairs.
