At the heart of this celebration of Chinese design and craftsmanship, TEARTURE, a flagship brand of high-end furniture in precious wood, unveils its bold vision of contemporary Chinese design. Skillfully merging ancestral know-how and modern aesthetics, TEARTURE pushes the boundaries of art furniture.
The exhibition, a collaboration between Sun Media Group and China National Brand Network, is structured around the five elements - metal, wood, water, fire, and earth - weaving a subtle link between traditional Chinese philosophy and cutting-edge design.
TEARTURE presents unique pieces, true bridges between tradition and innovation:
“The Chinese Circle Chair": a bold sculptural reinterpretation of the iconic Ming chair.
“Spring Is Born from Everything": a reinvented cabinet celebrating renewal and vitality.
“The Xipi Lacquer Desk": a sleek creation combining functionality and refinement.
“The Screen of Celestial Books": a fascinating work deconstructing and reimagining over 1000 oracle bone characters, a millennial heritage from China’s Bronze Age.
These creations embody TEARTURE’s philosophy: a harmonious fusion between excellent craftsmanship and contemporary design. Each piece incorporates ancestral techniques such as Dongyang wood carving, bamboo weaving, or traditional lacquer, sublimated by a resolutely modern approach.
Wu Tengfei, master craftsman and founder of TEARTURE, constantly pushes the limits of his art and creativity to offer a new perspective on Chinese design. His approach, deeply rooted in tradition while embracing innovation, paves the way for a unique expression of Chinese cultural heritage on the international stage.
The REVIVING CRAFT exhibition marks a crucial step in the influence of contemporary Chinese design. TEARTURE, at the forefront of this movement, invites the world to discover the richness and creativity of today’s Chinese furniture, carrying a millennial heritage and resolutely turned towards the future!
