Colosseum Mix Wood Round Glass Top Coffee Table/Cocktail Table by Po Shun Leong
About the Item
The Ark collection by Po Shun Leung originated from his dreaming of ocean liners.
When the sirens screamed in London during the II World War, the Leung family headed underground for the deep shelters to avoid German bombs. To escape the dangers in 1944, his father sent him as a 3 year old child to live with a carpenter in the countryside until the end of the war.
The carpenter had a hobby of making model ocean liners. One of them, a majestically long vessel filled his small parlour. When he carved the complex wood pieces, Po crouched beside the liner and rolled marbles along the enclosed decks and into the maze of its inner Chambers. Mr. Page and his wife were a childless couple and became very attached to Po. When Po's parents came to collect him at the end of the war, Mrs Page was devastated and had a nervous breakdown.
In 1964, Po immigrated to Mexico after receiving an architecture degree cum laude in London from the Architectural Association. For the next 16 years Po designed department stores, schools and homes and produced low-cost furniture. His architectural models were important for clients to decide whether to make the projects possible.
In Mexico Po used to paint and had exhibitions, but he found that wood does not answer back in the way canvas does. Canvas loses its life very easily. You can work on wood indefinitely, strip it down and start all-over again.
58 years later in California, that model wartime liner is still there to haunt Po's way of creating art.
