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.

What happens when a “drunk” furniture maker gets their hands on a traditional side table? The result is the Wasted Sidetable—an unexpected journey of curves, chaos, and charm. Drawing from the timeless design of a classic sidetable, this piece lets go of precision, embracing the unpredictable beauty of wobbly lines and off-kilter angles. It's as if the maker, caught in a moment of carefree abandon, let the design unfold with a touch of whimsy and a dash of the unplanned. The Wasted Sidetable is a celebration of imperfection, reminding us that sometimes, the most interesting creations come from letting go of control.
