This rattan chair combines natural elements and digital-generative assistance. This recliner is rounded and smooth with beautiful curves. The circular closed-loop structure with eye-catching and symbolic features on the side is the highlight of the styling design of this rattan chair, and it also plays a role as supporting structure. The overall rattan chair is built with a broad arc and lengthy curve, which emphasizes the flexible yet tough nature of the material. The chair's back curvature is ergonomically designed, which would give the customers a comfortable and pleasant experience.



This recliner adopts the topological optimization technology based on the two-way progressive structure optimization (BESO) method in the process of modeling iterative derivation. It brings the material characteristics and physical characteristics of rattan into the design modeling and generates the stress points and support points of the rattan chair. To create a nice and clean form, the designer get to redesign the form and shape based on the generated structure. Thus, functionality and aesthetics are brought together in a harmonious whole.



This design can be used in scenarios such as home, seaside, resorts, and environments with relaxing vibe. Resting on a recliner like this, will bring the user a touch of comfort and chill especially during summer days.
