With origins from a spatial design discipline, André Fu embarks on a journey to challenge himself with the notion of creating a dialogue between object and user. He questions traditional materials and techniques to foster his own creative language to evoke a quality that transcends the formal expression of dimensionality. The objects illustrate his evolving vision through experimental representation, featuring a personal exploration into the materiality of bronze. Each object, which runs in editions, is conceived with its own inspiration and personality while conveying the duality and contrast between the restrained and the expressed.

For the ARC Occasional Chair, Fu looks to express notions of strength and rigor – in a bold yet delicate design. The designer has worked with cast bronze for the chair’s frame, as well as silk fabric with travertine grains for the chair’s cushioning.
