This furniture piece reimagines RAWHIDE — traditionally used in Taiwanese shadow puppetry and drums— through air-inflated shaping that amplifies its innate elasticity. A by-product of the meat industry, rawhide transforms under internal pressure into voluminous, organic forms. Echoing the revaluation of body image and the aesthetics of fullness, the design embraces tension as a formative force. It becomes a sustainable expression of cultural memory, material resilience, and the dignity of diverse physical and visual identities.
