JIEYU CHAIR
The Jieyu Chair is a performative seat; its traditional Han garment upholstery unveils itself as the user stands, leaving only the chair's skeletal frame. Embedding a unique cultural memory, it draws narratives from the poetry of Jieyu Ban, symbolizing historic Chinese female experiences within royal households. The performative process involved in activating the piece dismantles past narratives, replacing them with an alternative story shaped by contemporary female perspectives.
