This coffee stand is crafted using bent lamination, a technique that allows for the creation of custom curved structures from veneer. The circular shape of the stand is inspired by the Chinese cultural concept of "Yuan" (圆), which symbolizes harmony and unity. This idea is also central to Daoism, which emphasizes balance between human society and nature. In this piece, I see wood as an anchor that connects these concepts, bridging tradition, philosophy, and craftsmanship.
