Small Merging Coffee Table by Atelier V&F

About the Item

Small Merging Table by Atelier V&F Limited Edition Of 12+2AP Pieces. Dimensions: D 67.5 x W 153 x H 21 cm. Materials: Cast brass. 「Merging Tables」, a set of two coffee tables, taking its shape from the unsteady posture of newborn calves, picture the moment of disorder before power and control set in. Three cast table legs holding up an uneven tabletop, form an entity that looks as if it was born directly from liquid, radiating a strong life force and reserving possibilities of transformations. The two pieces cross cross-placed, feature a female-male duo or a mother-son dependence, symbolizing the continuance of life. The smooth mirror surface with an extremely sci-fi touch is the light in the collection and in chaos, breaking out from the darkness and connecting all the pieces in the collection. Seen from above, it is just like a lake on Earth, the source of life. 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.
