Designed to elevate the shared ritual of dining, Rin (林) embodies tranquility through continuous, gracefully flowing curves. Its form is meticulously crafted to soften the ambiance of a residential space, creating a seating experience that is both serene and inviting.

I led the project from initial sketching to final fabrication and presentation. To make the backrest’s curvature, I CNC-machined full-scale components from solid Hard Maple, utilizing a hybrid joinery system of precision dowels and mechanical fasteners for the final assembly.

I debuted Rin (林) at the 2022 International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), where it was honored with the ICFF Editors Award in the Seating category. Recognized as one of the industry’s premier accolades, the award is juried by top design media editors to identify the 'best of the best' among the year’s global product launches.
