Description/

The weightiness and the fine curves of the blocks that are characteristic of this collection shows the designer Chen Furong’s admiration and appreciation of weight and volume, light an d shadow. The clean-cut silhouettes of the long chair, the screen cabinet and the side tables appear in an organic whole with the space itself in a short glance. The architecturallanguage of H-shaped structures, the cutouts and the rounded angles helps to make it an extension of the space itself, giving it a calming quality. Under light, the clean-cut edges are blurred by the touch of shadow, creating a lively visual effect and a quiet atmosphere. The artistic aspect of the collections is reminiscent of the geometric models in a painting for sculpture studio, and giving it an aesthetic and spiritual oneness.
