Butterfly Hanger: A Revolution in Assembled Furniture

Lu Li's Award-Winning Design Marries Convenience and Sustainability

The Butterfly Hanger stands out in the market of assembled furniture, primarily dominated by pieces constructed using metal joints. These traditional designs often fail to withstand repeated assembly and disassembly due to the contrasting material properties of metal and wood. Lu Li's design, however, leverages the material properties to create a structure that can be repeatedly assembled and disassembled without internal loss.

Lu Li's design process involved bending, cutting, welding, grinding, and spraying metal for the frames. The wood bar, currently made from Chinese fir, was created through mould making, single planer, sanding, and wood wax oil. The resulting product is a hanger that can be assembled quickly and conveniently by hand. When it's time to move, the hanger can be disassembled for easy transport.

The Butterfly Hanger was born out of Lu Li's research on the rapid urbanization and logistics industry development in China. The market was flooded with poor quality assembled furniture that was not designed for repeated assembly and disassembly. This led to a significant amount of 'furniture garbage', contributing to environmental pollution and resource wastage.

Lu Li's design addresses these issues head-on. The Butterfly Hanger is not only practical and suitable for industrial production, but it is also sustainable and environmentally friendly. The design allows for components to be replaced separately if needed, further reducing waste. The Butterfly Hanger is a perfect example of a Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) furniture piece that is elegant, durable, and well-structured.

The Butterfly Hanger is protected by a utility model patent in China, emphasizing the uniqueness of its design. The Golden A' Design Award it received is a testament to its outstanding and trendsetting design that advances art, science, and technology. Lu Li's Butterfly Hanger is a shining example of innovative design that marries convenience and sustainability, setting a new standard for assembled furniture.
