Cyclo Chair
Cyclo Chair is inspired by the movie "The Lover" (1992), which depicts the romantic love story between a Chinese man and a young French girl. Designer Tran Thanh Huyen explains that the movie is set in hot, humid Saigon in the 1920s. The background, color, and interior style used in the movie are characterized by a Saigon-Indochina vibe. The image of a cyclo, or trishaw, appears as a symbol of Saigon. At that time, the cyclo was the means of transport for rich French officials and bureaucrats (representing the upper class). With the desire to revive the atmosphere of the movie as well as Saigon’s vibe, the Cyclo chair was born and boasts elegant features providing comfort to users.
