모바일 퍼니쳐는 포스트 인더스트리얼 디자인을 연상시키는 거칠면서도 섬세한 구성이 돋보인다. 특히 기능미학이 선보이는 디자인의 완성은 가구이상의 만족감을 선사한다.
naihan li always imagined having a space where she could seamlessly live and work.
however, the impermanence of her beijing life made it a challenge. in
china, the reality that many artist face the potential of having their
studios demolished gives creatives a sense of uncertainty.

trying to conceive a way in which to counteract this, li has
designed ‘crates’, a series of mobile furniture objects that she can
easily take around with her. drawing on the boxes from which the
collection takes its name, the pieces feature metal housing which
conceals their functions within: a bookshelf, single sofa, tea table, writing desk, as well as a mobile bar, entertainment center and kitchen unit.
