Haoming Li's latest furniture collections for hm-LI Studio showcase unique applications of wood, enabling personal storytelling through design. The Weaving Chair Series uses bent wood construction inspired by a simple moment of interaction with a receipt, emphasizing how design can create connections. This series, recognized with a Red Dot Award 2024, invites user participation through self-assembly. The Le Sourire Chair Series further draws from Li's Chinese heritage, reflecting the fluid elegance of traditional artistry. Each piece exemplifies wood's potential not only as a material but as a medium of artistic expression.
The Weaving Chair Series was inspired by an unexpected moment: folding and playing with a receipt while waiting in line. "This idea of transforming flatness into volume became the core of the piece."
Li's designs are deeply personal, rooted in her background, heritage, or even the mundane moments of everyday life, allowing people to feel a sense of connection.
Crafted using bent wood construction and a unique mortise-and-tenon joinery system, the Weaving Chair invites intimate interaction, as users assemble the piece themselves before use.
The Le Sourire Chair Series highlights the elegance of traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy, with fluid forms echoing graceful brushstrokes.
