福

The Fortune Chair merges historical symbolism with contemporary lines.

Borrowing from the Chinese Character for fortune, as well as the significance of the culturally revered crane,

the curvature of the chair’s back represents the crane, the symbol for a long life, looking downward in search of food.

The seat represents family, and the base symbolizes a rice paddy, the source of food.

A family’s good fortune is that their bountiful farm creates health and stability.

Together, the chair’s design components depict the fortune of having the sustenance and the family support to expect a long and happy life.

椅背之左邊部首以鶴字象形為首,引出祝賀長壽千秋之意.

以口字作為座位實體,意喻人丁興旺,家人和睦.

田字在底部奠基,則代表田產豐衣足食,

基業穩當踏實,完滿呈現意境,

詮釋出福壽安康,

福澤世代.

“Those who sit on the Fortune Chair will have the land and the nourishment to enjoy a long life along with their family, which is truly worth a fortune.”
