Zhi Chair is a sculptural expression inspired by the flowing brushstroke of the Chinese character “之,” blending Eastern calligraphic rhythm with the Western legacy of cantilever design. Reimagined from Gerrit Rietveld’s iconic Zig-Zag Chair, its bold “Z” silhouette appears to float above a solid wood base, balancing strength and softness in a timeless artistic form that elevates any interior.
Engineered for comfort as much as beauty, Zhi Chair features a gentle 3° recline and a 7 cm high-density foam cushion wrapped around a precision-crafted frame. Reinforced steel construction, mortise-and-tenon joinery, and V-shaped base support ensure lasting stability, while its layered, paper-folded geometry offers a refined new vision of contemporary Chinese aesthetics.
