HOUSE OF TAI PING CARPET House of Tai Ping旗下的子品牌Edward Fields新近与艺术家Fernando Mastrangelo携手，联合推出Reverence系列。Mastrangelo常以雕塑、家具、大型墙体作 品见长，此次首次推出以纤维为材质的作品，这也是他12个全新地毯概念与 Edward Fields精湛工匠技艺的完美融合。 Edward Fields, of the House of Tai Ping brands, takes a bold step in the design world with the launch of Reverence, a new collection designed in collaboration with Fernando Mastrangelo. Known for his sculptures, furniture and large-scale wall works, Mastrangelo has worked with an eclectic array of materials – from coffee to cement – this reportedly marks his first foray into the world of fibers. The result is showcased in Beijing, in the form of 12 new carpet concepts that fuse the artist’s abstract aesthetics with high quality carpet craftsmanship.
STYLISH DEBUT Just ahead of Beijing Design Week, Design China Beijing, as the sister event of Design Shanghai, has been held in China National Agricultural Exhibition Center from September 22 to September 25, 2018. Showcasing work from over 80 exhibitors including a number of important global design brands as well as a strong roster of local Chinese design talents, the fair highlighted the latest products and innovations in design across three halls: Contemporary, Classic & Luxury and Collectibles. “Design China Beijing is the first truly international design trade event in Beijing,’ explains event director Zhuo Tan of Design China Beijing and Design Shanghai. ‘Although Beijing Design Week has been established for nearly ten years, there is no high-end design trade fair established successfully in Beijing. There are more than 250,000 registered international and local architect and interior design firms based in Beijing. Design China Beijing provides a global platform where all those designers can source products for their projects locally and allow top design brands to meet them and establish business relationship.” The show brings more forward-looking and inspiring design content for modern interior design and home décor ideas, through exposed fine art pieces and the best interior designs in the world. Alongside the main exhibitor program, Design China Beijing has also collaborated on a number of satellite exhibitions and installations across Beijing including Ten Altar in Taikoo Li Sanlitun by Chinese studio Black Drama and an interactive installation by Jamy Yang at the Opposite House Hotel. The fair also hosted a series of talks from some of the world’s best known international and local designers at the first Design China Beijing Forum. Turning the event into a Beijing-wide celebration of design and creativity, Design China Beijing offers both the local community and international visitors the opportunity to experience the city in a new light. Here are some highlights from the event.

RUYI, a home brand created by Yuan Yuan, a designer and artist, translates directly as “As Tomorrow”, representing the brand’s design philosophy of using art to change and enrich life. The designer’s understanding of China and the country’s culture is heavily incorporated into these contemporary furniture designs. The screen “Light Fan”, artistically appealing the moon-shaped fans symbolizes union and happiness in ancient Chinese poetry and calligraphy. The design of Light Fan is precisely based on the traditional esthetics of moonshaped fans. The spatial partitioning and the semi-transparency of the moon-shaped fans convey, in a faintly discernible way, the emphasis of Oriental cultures on implicit beauty.
