A UNIQUE 'HEXA' SCREEN, 2017

The following four lots are part of the Dynaming collection conceived by Alexandre Chary, a French designer based in China. The collection combines Chary’s reinterpretation of traditional Chinese techniques with an innovative contemporary approach. The designs are based on the idea that today’s furniture should be more than objects. They should be an experience affecting a wider range of senses. The elegant design of each piece together with the choice of refined materials is therefore key to the understanding of Chary’s vision. The works presented in this section are tactile, and they are meant to enhance the experience of living with them. These creations are the result of an encounter between two cultures, the embodiment of a great work ethic and the dedicated work of craftsmen at Fengshuo, the manufacturer of this collection.
The present screen embodies the characteristic of the collection clearly. The design is based on Chary’s fascinations for traditional Chinese patterns and it is an exquisite example of craftsmanship. The complexity of the design is enhanced by the stone base. It’s organic shape is formed by Tian luo lü, a rare stone from the Tianshan valley in Xinjiang that has no noticeable veins or grain and has a very unusual dark green tone.
