This 3ds Max model of a traditional Chinese horseshoe armchair features intricate wood carving and a patterned seat cushion with a throw pillow. Constructed with a distinctive curved backrest that forms the horseshoe shape, this armchair is crafted from dark-toned wood with natural grain. The frame incorporates delicate openwork carvings on the splat and arm supports, reflecting classic oriental design motifs. The seat is fitted with a square, patterned textile cushion, complemented by a solid-coloured, neutral-toned throw pillow placed against the backrest. The base is reinforced by a sturdy, rectangular stretcher system, ensuring structural stability while maintaining the elegant, slender proportions typical of this historical furniture typology. The combination of rigid wooden joinery and soft upholstery creates a balanced aesthetic.
