Roundback Armchair: Lohan Type

미술관의 설명

In history, China moved from an original floor culture to high chairs and tables, developing a unique tradition of craftsmanship. Although still relatively unexplored, the manufacturing and styles of furniture differ by region. This horseshoe-back armchair was made in Jiangsu province. Its simplicity and minimalist elegance is characteristic of Suzhou-style furniture and aesthetics. The back of the chair is made of seven pieces of wood, joined and secured with an inserted wooden pin, a mortise-tenon technique that appeared in its earliest form in Neolithic fragments of the Hemudu culture. Similar chairs with low, straight backs were presumably used by women or in a less formal context.
