Zhang graduated from Central Saint Martins Art & Design College in London, and is a member of the Architectural Association School of Architecture. He established Zhoujie Zhang Digital Lab in 2010. He is a pioneer in the realm of digital creativity.

His work is known for being independent, experimental and futuristic. Zhang believes that objects in the digital world can grow and morph much like things found in nature, and he is dedicated to discovering and exploring the methods within these transformations. His work mainly focuses on the simplicity of logic, variety and unpredictability, which is based on his understanding of nature.

His collections have been exhibited widely around the world and selected by museums as well as individual collectors. His work has appeared in mainstream media such as Wallpaper*, the New York Times, and Vogue.

As a new designer, Zhang used the digital to make design works. He believes that in a more intelligent era, the old production tools have many limitations, just as the plate furniture is limited by the machine, and it has to be made into a board. But in the digital age of the future, you can use 3D printing.

"Subversion is always from the edge. This concept is called “edge innovation” and will always start in your inconspicuous corner."

Zhoujie has two fundamentals rules when designing all his products. The first one is to respect the digital and logical rules and design without anticipation; the other one is to give as little control as possible. 

This digital chair is a perfect practice of Zhoujie's design rules. Zhoujie believes that design should be spontaneous, like poem and emotions. It should be the natural reflection of acknowledge an understanding of the world. As for the chair, it should be naturally looking, to be the way it should be without affectation. Building on his design philosophy, Zhoujie designed the chair without limitations and thousands of possibilities came out.
