Transferable public chairs are multipurpose. Users can modify this unique chair's height. Its 45cm or 65cm vertical heights provide adults with excellent comfort, support, and back and waist strain reduction. When horizontal, the chair's height drops to 35cm for children's posture. The clever low-height adjustment lets kids sit and touch the ground. Intelligent design lowers stress and discomfort. Lower chairs serve as seating and upper chairs as tables, allowing pedestrians to speak and enjoy each other's company—functionality public seats lack. The chair's armrests enable movement and personalization. Its base and top are 25cm and 35cm wide. The bottom armrests support the chair on its side, leveling kids and others. The chair's adjustable backrest improves pedestrian comfort.



To conserve space, the backrest folds smoothly. This multipurpose public chair purposefully has child-friendly characteristics for comfort and relaxation.



The ornamental designs on each seat unit can form a complex phoenix pattern, inviting puzzle play. This distinctive design inspires inquiring kids' inventiveness, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving. This ingenuity allows onlookers to have fun.

The Luoyang Palace lantern inspired the handmade public chair's excellent Chinese cultural blend. The chair's elaborate lantern designs and components depict China's history. The lantern and chair's pentagonal prisms illustrate symmetrical geometry's beauty. The lantern's scenery, flora, wildlife, and phoenix motifs are on the chair's sides. The bottom armrests include dragon and lucky cloud artwork to compliment the phoenix and traditional Chinese elegance. Private and comfortable seating is stressed to address privacy concerns and increase public seating use. In busy areas, people can be personal.



Modularity also improves grouping flexibility. Group or individual chairs can be arranged. The set has ten chairs for ten people. The chair's hollowed-out center shelters stray animals, showing animal welfare. The wood chair promotes sustainability and conservation. Seniors and others like the chair's adjustable backrest. They may easily alter the backrest height for comfort and support. This user-centered design emphasizes social responsibility and individual needs.
