About the Item

With their ‘JinShi’ Collection, multi-awarded design duo Studio MVW introduces a refined collection of limited edition jewels for the home, celebrating the beauty of pink jade. This precious nest of tables includes three table modules that can be arranged in various ways. This ensemble features three jade tops in natural pink jade, a rare gemstone remarkable for its powder-like transparency and uniquely sensuous appeal. These tops rest on rose gold coloured anodized stainless steel footings which fit into each other like a puzzle. Each set of tables is all the more exceptional that the tops have different patterns depending on the cut. The 'JinShi Pink Jade Nest of Tables' is exclusively produced for Galerie BSL in a limited edition of 8 + 4 artist proofs. This work is available in two colour variations for the base: first in anodized stainless steel tinted in a subtle pink-gold brass tone, and second in an anodized stainless steel tinted in gunmetal grey. The 'JinShi' collection of consoles, tables, mirror and lights offers an interplay of curves and lines that defines a minimalist balance of forms while the sensuality of pink jade offers a refinement that is unique in today’s furniture design. The result is a collection of precious pieces combining craftsmanship and innovation, physicality and ethereality, and bringing a uniquely poetic dimension to any interior. Founded in Shanghai by French architect Virginie Moriette and Chinese designer Ming Xu, Studio MVW is known for their sculptural, architectural forms and ability to subtly connect contemporary Western and Eastern aesthetics. With over twenty years of experience in architecture, interior and furniture design, Studio MVW has won numerous awards in Asia and Europe, including the AD China 100 Design Talent Award four times in a row (2019, 2017, 2015 and 2013) and the Wallpaper* Design Award (2018, 2014).

Studio MVW

French architect Virginie Moriette and Chinese designer Xu Ming of Studio MVW draw on their distinct backgrounds and cultures for collaborative pieces that elegantly reimagine expected forms of furniture. The duo uses eclectic materials and sculptural forms for creative pieces as well as in their designs for interiors and architecture.

Moriette and Ming are especially inspired by nature as something that links both Western and Chinese design. Ming studied at Penninghen Graphic Arts and Interior Architecture High School in Paris as well as with designers including Didier Gomez, Eric Raffy and Paul Andreu before returning to China in 2004. Moriette studied at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-La Villette and likewise worked with Andreu, meeting Ming while working on a project in Shanghai. Their first furniture designs came out of the pieces they were creating for their own home, such as wooden bookshelves that evoked the shapes of tree trunks. Together they cofounded Studio MVW in Shanghai in 2006.

Moriette and Ming now work on smaller scale projects like limited-edition objects and individual furniture pieces as well as entire interiors, regularly harmonizing disparate materials such as bronze, jade, marble and lacquer. Their Jinye series, for instance, features tables made from Patagonian quartzite while their JinShi console involves discs made of pink jade that are illuminated from within. Their architecture and interior designs include the Aoyama Lab Dessert Bar in Beijing, which juxtaposes glass and mesh with wood and stone, and the Shanghai showroom for Pierre Cardin where circular portals frame the housewares.

As they told Design Anthology: “Whatever the object or project, we draw inspiration from its context, the client’s needs and personality and always from nature, with the objective of giving all projects a special identity with a hint of poetry.” Studio MVW’s work has included designs for Giorgetti, Roche Bobois and Richemont Group.
