On July 5th, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris opened its doors to a cultural event of international scale: ‘Reviving Craft,’ Contemporary Art and Design from China. This showcase presented the avant-garde creations of 40 artists and 20 institutions, highlighting China’s intangible cultural heritage and fostering a rich and innovative intercultural dialogue.
At the heart of this celebration of Chinese design and craftsmanship, Tearture, a flagship brand of high-end furniture in precious wood, unveils its bold vision of contemporary Chinese design.
The exhibition, a collaboration between Sun Media Group and China National Brand Network, is structured around the five elements – metal, wood, water, fire and Earth.
Tearture presented four new pieces: “The Chinese Circle Chair,” a bold sculptural reinterpretation of the iconic Ming chair, “Spring Is Born from Everything,” a reinvented cabinet celebrating renewal and vitality, “The Xipi Lacquer Desk,” a sleek creation combining functionality and refinement, and “The Screen of Celestial Books,” a fascinating work deconstructing and reimagining over 1000 oracle bone characters, a millennial heritage from China’s Bronze Age.
Each piece incorporates ancestral techniques such as Dongyang wood carving, bamboo weaving, or traditional lacquer, sublimated by a resolutely modern approach.
