MAZHA STOOL
Designed and crafted by AMASS Studio and TANCHEN Studio, the MAZHA Stool is an ode to the traditional 马扎 (mǎ zhá) stool. Inspired by scenes of the elderly gathering along the streets in Shanghai, the MAZHA Stool is designed to capture the communal spirit of afternoon tea in the city. Its compact and portable build makes it convenient to set down wherever it suits you: a shady alleyway, a picnic, or a beach. Made out of a foldable aluminium frame with a seatpad handwoven from nylon ribbon and rope, ST##L utilises everyday, common materials to create a modern reinterpretation of this adaptable and enduring Chinese social practice.
