"There is No Chair", GUAN MAO CHAIR (2006)
Fascinating and strikingly beautiful, ‘There is No Chair’, a transparent Song-period Guan Mao Chair in CLEAR acrylic. The design dates back to the Eastern Zhou period (circa 500B.C.) and came to it’s beautiful maturity in the Song Dynasty where it was a symbol of high status in a society that mostly sat on mats. The Guan Mao Chair or “Official’s Hat” chair is so called because of the resemblance of the crest rail with the hat worn by certain official's during the Song dynasty. Perhaps the purest expression of her design philosophy the “There is no Chair” series reflects JinR’s love for Chinese design history but at the same time shows her desire to move this Chinese aesthetic culture beyond stereotypes into the contemporary global arena and into the future. The collection plays on the relationship between spirit and physicality, the almost absent chair challenges our own vision and gives thought to that which is beyond that we can simply “see”. “Because we don’t see it doesn’t mean it is not there. It’s the illusionary nature or our so called reality” JinR
philosophizes.
