The sofa ensemble seamlessly blends traditional Chinese culture with modern design techniques, aiming to strike a balance between proper sitting posture and a comfortable sitting experience. It is designed to meet users' pursuit of a high-quality lifestyle. The Suzhou-style garden culture inspires the overall shape of the sofa ensemble. The designer has selected red oak, which is suitable for living room space, as the primary material, creating an elegant and luxurious home atmosphere.

The design team has given the sofa a form that reflects the characteristics of the traditional round-backed armchair. Additionally, the elements of the Jade Cong's shape were blended into the design of the side table, which fully expresses the traditional Eastern cultural style. To further implement the concept of Eastern culture, the design team replaced the angles in the square shape of the side table and sofa with curves, blending the roundness with the squareness. This achieves a balance between modern and traditional styles and conveys the concept of seeking common ground while reserving differences and co-existing harmoniously in Chinese philosophy.

To cater to the trend of pursuing comfort in the modern furniture market, the sofa adopts the brand's original "Huage Comfort Seating System," which provides the most comfortable support effect according to the user's sitting posture and weight. Combined with the ergonomic backrest angle (105°) and adjustable headrest, it can effectively enhance the user's sitting experience. The innovative single-axis pivot opening of the side table is also intuitively different from traditional drawer pull-outs, which not only gives the side table more storage space but also makes it easier to open and close.
