Concept
The idea of the curve seat was taken from traditional roof architecture in Malaysia called Minang which comes from Negeri Sembilan state. Minang stool has a cultural aesthethics and with a simple design, it stacks up on top of each other facing front or facing sides.
The Kangaroo laces that wraps the top of curved seat weaved through the middle provides a soft feel when sitting on the hard but curved ply. The colours of the laces also enhance the timber colour and the line created from the laminated ply reflects the woven pattern.
