Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a work desk designed for offices and studios, especially for people who draw by hand. Three edges of the desktop are raised to stop brushes and other tools from falling to the floor. The front edge is cut as a soft corner for more comfortable use. The curved form is inspired by Chinese Tai Chi and its balance of yin and yang. The metal parts are made by CNC machining, and the wood used is beech. The curved sections are shaped by machine and finished by hand. The desk measures 1600 by 800 by 710 millimeters.
Tai Chi Work Desk by Lu Yi was identified as an innovative representation of industrial design by the A' Design Award. Tai Chi Work Desk was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2022. The A' Furniture Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design award which celebrates outstanding design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
