WEI Chair: A Modern and Elegant Leisure Chair

An Abstract Geometric Design by Wei Jingye

The WEI Chair is a leisure chair that combines abstract shapes and sleek materials to create a modern and elegant seating option. Designed by Wei Jingye, this chair is inspired by abstract geometric triangles, resulting in a visually striking and stable design. With its low back and breathable leather seat, the WEI Chair offers both comfort and style.

The WEI Chair stands out with its simple and stable shape, making it suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor settings. The stainless steel frame, produced using CNC milling technology, adds a touch of sophistication to the chair. The seat and backrest, made of pure leather and crafted using cutting production techniques, provide a luxurious and comfortable seating experience.

Measuring 700 mm x 720 mm x 700 mm, the WEI Chair is designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The stainless steel frame is meticulously crafted using CNC milling or die casting technology, while the seat and backrest are carefully cut from high-quality leather. Metal hangers connect the frame and seat backrest, ensuring the chair's stability and durability.

When sitting on the WEI Chair, users will experience the elastic and moderate support provided by the pure leather surface and backrest. The low back design helps relieve pressure on the lower back, promoting relaxation and comfort. The chair's design and materials have been carefully chosen to create a harmonious and functional seating experience.

The WEI Chair project began in June 2016 in Shenyang and was completed in December 2017. It was displayed in June 2018 at the museum of LuXun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang. Throughout the design process, extensive research was conducted to ensure the chair's stability, comfort, and aesthetic appeal.

Wei Jingye faced several challenges while designing the WEI Chair, including finding the perfect balance between the simple geometric form and the shape of a leisure chair. Additionally, ensuring the tensile strength of the seat and backrest, as well as the connection to the stainless steel frame, required careful consideration and innovative solutions.

The WEI Chair showcases the beauty of abstract geometry and modern design. Its sleek silver-gray stainless steel frame, combined with the black leather seat, creates a contemporary and sophisticated look. With its CNC milling processed frame and cutting production leather parts, the WEI Chair is suitable for industrial mass production without compromising on quality or style.

The exceptional design of the WEI Chair has been recognized with the Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2018. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The WEI Chair's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics contributes to a better world, providing fulfillment and positive feelings to its users.
