Korean designer Hyung Suk Cho has designed a chair made of two curved wooden shells joined together with circular studs.
Called Stud, the wooden chair is supported by three steel legs.
Hyung Suk Cho has also created a matching table, with the same wooden component folded down over four steel legs.
Here's some more infomration from the designer:
The "Stud chair & table" is bending wood chair and table. The "Stud" means a small button like earrings. The "Stud chair & table" looks like wearing four small earrings! :) I want to design the chair composed by only one module.
The "Stud chair & table" solves this problem. Its back, sitting plate of chair and table are only one bending module.
So, it is made easily and its cost is cheaper than 2 modules or 3 modules design.

disgraceful gimmick of the Eames’ chair..
renewal of Eames’ character
Would be nicer if it can flex at the joint.
I really love the clean look and the idea, but I’m a little concerned about the stability. Can these hold good sized people? Or, better yet, can these comfortably hold bigger people?
Am I the only one who sees a sort of Eames-Frankenstein?
i guess you can’t go wrong quoting eames as a starting point :-)
& Hans wegner Did he copy too ?

Cute! Made me think of Eames chair at first sight. I wonder why? ;)
a toy- eames- how cute is that??!!
I am always surprised when there is no mention that these are just renderings,,,
in the real world, this will look different, i hoped that at least we’d be informed when presented with nicely done renderings that confuse virtuality with reality.
personnally, i would be in favor of no renderings, i prefer photos of real design.
just my 2 cents
There is some Jean Prouvé in this Stud Chair. Very nice
These are not renders.
