Meet Sun at Six

Sun at Six is interested in how spaces affect our everyday choices. Their furniture is designed with the idea that spaces influence and define how we relate to others. Furniture, and how it's arranged, plays a role in shaping these relationships and interpersonal dynamics. Sun at Six aims to design furniture to bring people together and nourish relationships that matter.

What they do:

Sun at Six is a furniture design studio, with a focus on traditional joinery. Their design studio is run by a mother and son duo founded with a commitment to preserving and cultivating traditional Chinese craftsmanship.

Where they do it:

San Jose, California

Working with traditional joinery masters

Sun at Six creates their furniture using classical Chinese joinery, which uses intricate interwoven joints to create furniture without the use of any nails or screws. By using this intricate joinery system, furniture can acclimatize in real time to extreme changes in temperature and humidity, allowing the wood to “breathe” and expand and contract to prevent cracks and warping.
