New Hermitage Collection extension sofa series. Enjoy a brief rest in your living room.

“This world is full of inevitable evils, and it‘s best for a person to have a place of refuge, somewhere to retreat to from time to time.

Softness. 🟢⚪️

We believe every material has its own hardness characteristics. Glass is a balanced material—it‘s hard and can shine with light. Yet when you feel it with sense, it always feels soft.

At our first exhibition at Design Shanghai,
he said ”you’re too greedy.“

I think he was right 🤔 - having such a playful heart and taking it so seriously is indeed quite ”greedy.“

🍃Slowly Rising started with a lamp, like lighting a small lamp in a dark room. Everything originated from a small inspiration, a small spark, a little thread that could open up more possibilities. Have you ever thought about it? Which thread would be like the operation lights on a factory production line - bright and glaring from the start, stark white and transparent, settling everything at once?

Slowly Rising means to gradually extend, and the Chinese name of our series is ”Awakening.“ Like waking from a dream, like waking up in the morning, slowly walking towards the warm and interesting sunlight. Nothing suits this concept better than dewdrops adorning green grass.

This series began with a set of abstract NFT digital works and ends with this coffee table. We don‘t ask for much, but we’ve gained plenty.

If there‘s anything worth being greedy about, it’s being interesting. Never close the channel to new ”interesting“ things.

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣💚💚💚As we reach the end of the year, I know the new year will be interesting too. Let‘s continue to be ”greedy“ in pursuing interesting things together. Because those who know, know. All those little things build up my biggest mood.
