Description/

Gaia, the goddess of earth, is the source of inspiration for this collection. And with this collection Chen Furong tries to break the boundary between artistic sculpture and practical furniture, and to explore different materials. It is an artistic scene made up by the furniture. The soft and tender fur covering the tough and hard structures, touching the ground, reflects the power of the all encompassing earth. Grand and delicate, strong and soft, it pictures the female spiritual profile and represents the strength and tenderness of female quality.
