The main purposes of Xin Chen's design are communicating the different cultures and offering a new experiencing to appreciate the furniture. He has created a new way of constructing furniture that is joining all individual parts and holding them together through rope by tension without gluing and screwing.

The design can be satisfied with both functional and aesthetic for people simultaneously.
