Seems like a lot of people have been re-appropriating and re-imagining design from China lately. Designer Maarten Baas is the latest, with his collaboration with Pearl Lam’s Contrast Gallery in Shanghai. He created a series of hand-carved elm replicas of ordinary Chinese plastic chairs for his exhibition “The Shanghai Riddle.”
