TANCHEN Studio MAZHA Stool
"Mazha" means portable stool in Chinese. In the streets of Shanghai, it's common to see elderly people gathering and chatting while sitting on stools. Inspired by this everyday scene, the Mazha Stool was created. This stool reinterprets the everyday and traditional elements rooted in the local culture to suit modern lifestyles, bringing joy to our daily lives across borders.
Engaging with Materials, Craftsmanship, and Technology
The brand focuses on textiles, resulting in unique and everyday seat pads. Handwoven with nylon ribbons and ropes, the design showcases craftsmanship. The combination of colors creates a different impression for each stool, adding to its charm. The frame is made of lightweight aluminum, maintaining the inspiration of everyday life in harmony with the choice of materials for the seat pads.
The foldable Mazha Stool is easy to carry, perfect for outings to parks, playgrounds, beaches, campsites, and any outdoor leisure activities. It's also suitable for indoor use, whether by the window for relaxation or for a quick break during standing work. It promises to be a versatile addition to your everyday life.
