NAME: GOOD STYLE CREATIVE CO., LTD.
PROFILE: I like to think about how to integrate the interface of human life, landscape environment and space with public art from the creative process, and create a public art that can bring people good mood and memory through different types of creation and design. Balance makes the work a medium of emotional connection between man and nature.
I believe that creativity will always be the forerunner of the progress of the times. Public art explains not only a creative idea, but also must contain the connotation of art and the rigorous craft spirit. This is my pure belief, attitude, and persistence. I hope that every creation, besides the process of pursuing excellence and perfection, is also an eternal classic.

The Water Ripples rocking chair is a true ode to the harmony between nature and design. Replicating the soothing ripples of water, its form also evokes the delicacy of a seashell. Its translucent material, which captures bubbles, creates a striking illusion of subtly frozen moving water, akin to a crystallized ice cube.
The user's experience is perfectly aligned with the concept: choosing to create a rocking chair provides an immersive quasi-marine experience, turning the user into the captain of this chair and allowing them to create the rocking motion, reminiscent of the ebb and flow of the waves.
Congratulations on this truly inspiring design.
