Vitamin-B12-Omega-3 Chair by Duyi Han (2021)

“Vitamin-B12-Omega-3” chair is inspired by the artistic form of classical Chinese furniture such as those in temples and imperial courts. It is completely covered in fine silk, hand-embroidered with the molecular geometry of Vitamin B12 (critical to nerve cells) and Omega-3 (fatty acid believed to be good for cardiac health).

As part of Duyi Han’s “Ordinance of the Subconscious Treatment” collection, this piece is considered a device that records human cultural history. It updates the decorative content of classical Chinese furniture and reflects a contemporary belief in the modern scientific side of (mental) health.

The embroidery is done by highly experienced craftspeople in Suzhou, China. The chair is made by experienced professionals at Duyi Han’s collaborative workshop in Shanghai.
