| Placed at the entrance was the BANYAN TREE Collection, which incorporates the traditional Asian craft of weaving into contemporary outdoor furniture; each piece is handwoven in China, providing the patterns a stronger sense of artistry, while ensuring the continuation of this age-old craftsmanship. The rocking chair, in particular, enticed visitors to sit and experience comfort after a day’s worth of walking. |
The PILLOW Sofa, which received an award in Shanghai, proved to be also successful with the Northern customers, many of which were amazed to learn that it was designed to be used outdoors. Indeed, it retains all the integrity of outdoor furniture without compromising on sophistication of design, as a result of the continuous explorations made during the development process to merge functionality with streamlined aesthetics. Plus, the incorporation of bamboo provides a suggestion of Chinese influence without explicitly referencing to Chinese design elements, allowing the furniture to better appeal and integrate into a modern setting.
The stand also offered view of the FATTY, a plump and versatile sofa collection; a look at the LOTUS Planters, an extension of accessories from the tables of the same series; and the newest SCREEN, a fresh take on separators of space.
