His work deconstructs boundaries between fine art and applied design, marrying classical Ming wood carving techniques with contemporary design and materials to achieve a harmony symbolic of Chinese cultural evolution. The chairs are also modeled after Chinese ideograms, and will likely reveal more social commentary when examined closely.
