Embrace every uncertainty in front

In the 3rd Salone Satellite Shanghai, Chinese Designer Holmes Yi has brought its design work--ABSEAT. It's a seat futon looking like the head of Ball-point pen.

Stability and instability always exist simultaneously. The instability of life is presented in a playful way. Inspiration comes from the head of Ball-point pen. We can experience the joy of stability and instability of ABSEAT in the process of standing and sitting down. It can go up and down according to its elasticity.

JJGLE: Can you briefly introduce your design inspiration or your design style?

My unfixed design styles come from the experience of life in various aspects.

I hope to let people jump out of the inherent thinking concepts previously, embrace every uncertainty in front and feel the different experience by using this chair. I restore the instability of life in a playful manner, and the stability and instability exist with each other. My inspiration comes from the Chinese gyro.
