I. Classic Chinese-style Office Chair Designs
The classic designs of Chinese-style office chairs are mostly derived from traditional furniture, combining practicality with cultural connotations.

• Lamp-hanging Chair: Featuring an armless design, it offers a sense of freedom in sitting and is suitable as a dining chair or small office chair, commonly found in teahouses or minimalist office settings.
• Four-post Official's Hat Chair: The backrest often features carvings of study-themed patterns (such as a 'Study Corner' relief), with both the backrest and armrests extending outward, making it ideal for a study or private office to create a cultural ambiance.
• Scholar's Chair: With neither the top of the backrest nor the armrests protruding, it has a high backrest without carvings, providing a strong sense of enclosure. It is often used as a guest chair in teahouses or studies, reflecting a simple and elegant style.
