Cubic Blocks Coffee Table by Atelier V&F

About the Item

Cubic Blocks Coffee Table by Atelier V&F Limited Edition Of 10+2AP Pieces. Dimensions: D 122 x W 122 x H 34 cm. Materials: Oak. Cubic Pillar, Blocks, and Lines is a continuation of our exploration on the nature of design. Stripped off any externally imposed aesthetical meaning, this collection embraces the basic geometric structure, hiding the functionality under the disguise of its form. Four lines diagonally crossing one another make up a two-dimensional cube. When added with another dimension, it gains volume. These simple structures of lines and curves assume the archetype of stillness and dynamics of objects in space. The cubic pillar is a closet that hides its doors on the side, and the square block on bars a table that camouflaged its drawers. Completed with the long curvy blocks as benches, this collection takes on a good sense of humor which is understated and self-expressive. It is an experiment that explores the expressiveness of basic elements in bringing out the temperament and character of a work. The very abstractness offers the viewers of the work a doorway to his or her own imagination and poetry. Atelier V&F was co-founded by Chen Furong and Vega Zaishi Wang in Shenzhen. Chen Furong graduated from the Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts, majoring in comprehensive design. And he started the design studios WUU and CHEN FURONG Studio. Vega Zaishi Wang graduated from the London College of Fashion and Central Saint Martin and founded the designer brand VEGA ZAISHI WANG. The designers’ professional background and artistic upbringing become the intrinsic character of Atelier V&F. Their expertise, professional knowledge, and years of experience in the design field are the fertile ground for the development and exploration of Atelier V&F that enable it to break the divide of territories and cultures, and with an inclusive narrative to interpret aesthetics and functionality. The two designers’ poetics of life and living, their respect for different materials’ true nature, and their unceasing pursuit of exquisite craftsmanship instill vitality into Atelier V&F’s works from artistic sculptures, installments, and space to practical and utilitarian objects. Vega’s intuitive riding on fashion’s romantic urge and flow and Furong’s philosophical perspective on practical design is combined in one artistic expression, making their works both detailedly practical and ceremonial. As a married couple, the duo instills powerful emotional strength to the work of Atelier V&F, trying to interpret and represent the non-utilitarian and simple beauty in a coldly rational and precise world.
