Explore This Amazing WorkLotus Guest Chair
Lotus is a guest chair designed to bring forth a translation of traditional Ming Dynasty chair design for a modern space. The design was inspired by a Ming Dynasty folding chair that was created to allow high-class generals to maintain a gesture of status during an outing. There's a Chinese idiom that describes the growth of a lotus flower, out of the mud yet unstained. Kindness, warmth, generosity, and pureness of heart are all emotions the chair hopes to convey.

Ming Li Chang
I have a deep respect for my culture’s rich heritage and craftsmanship and I see product design as a way to change the narrative. As a designer, I am a divergent thinker who approaches the decision making process through trial and error, finding value in every idea. Whether I’m designing lifestyle, home goods, lighting or furniture, I create objects that are oddly purposeful. Decisions are based on taking insights to ideate concepts that have a clean, approachable aesthetic without being overcomplicated. By illustrating convincing narratives, I want to bring ideas to life in a way that others might say “I could’ve done that”.
