before forming his own atelier, shuang liang worked with a focus on architectural design, art installations, exhibitions, and furniture design. following this research, the beijing-based creative presents ‘tuann’, his first independent furnishing collection, in the greenhouse section of the 2015 stockholm furniture fair.

the set is liang’s first independent furniture collection

according to liang, the work is meant to ‘glow with a simple sense of peace and precision and represents a new interpretation of classical chinese furniture design.’ to do so, it is split into a curvilinear and a rectangular series, ranging from bookcases to stools and tables. each piece is both functional and sculptural, and provides a sanctuary-like space that allows light and shadow to interact. during formal experiments, curved and straight lines were identified to correspond to concepts of ‘he’ and ‘she’; the two genders engage in an ongoing conversation in terms of form and use.
