Zi Studio is an archive of multi-disciplinary exploration and experimentation by Zijun Zhao(赵梓俊).
Zi Studio explores the shifting relationships between space, objects, and people, tracing how they are formed, disrupted, and reimagined through everyday practices.
Zi Studio understands making as thinking, and design as questioning. Working across furniture, zines, photography, and installations, projects unfold through making, placing, using, and revisiting objects within everyday spaces.

Measures: 40 × 40 × 40 in
Mediums: MDF board, metal connector, flexible fabric
Year: 2024This piece explores my ambivalent relationship with corners—angular, rigid, and seemingly cold, yet quietly magnetic. Corners exert a gravitational pull in space, offering a sense of shelter despite their unwelcoming geometry. The work transforms this tension, softening angular harshness into a form of spatial embrace. It also reflects on the relationship between furniture and space, questioning how furniture reshapes spatial experience, how space receives objects, and how the two can operate together to produce comfort, intimacy, and presence.
