\u201cJINSHI\u201d is a precious collection<\/strong> of furniture and lights focused on pink jade<\/strong>, an extraordinary natural gemstone<\/strong> with a luxurious powder transparency. \u201cJINSHI\u201d\u2019s literal translation means \u201cGold Stone\u201d. Each work is a true jewel<\/strong> for the home. \u201cJINSHI\u201d shining consoles and \u201cJINSHI\u201d lamps combine natural pink jade illuminated by hidden LEDs and a structure in anodized stainless steel<\/strong> colored in brass<\/strong> with a subtle pink gold shade. In the \u201cJINSHI\u201d coffee table, a large pink jade top looks like it is levitating on three golden spheres. Each piece in the \u201cJINSHI\u201d collection is also available in a gunmetal grey anodized version. \u201cJINSHI\u201d displays an interaction of curves and lines that defines a minimalist<\/strong> balance of forms while the sensuality of pink jade offers a refinement unique in today\u2019s furniture design<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cXIANGSHENG\u201d is an elegant bronze furniture collection<\/strong> which plays with structural forms and void, empty space and solid surfaces, oxidized bronze and brushed bronze. This collection incarnates Studio MVW<\/a>\u2019s multicultural philosophy. In the West, a solid object is seen in terms of material and form and admired for that. In the East, the concept of emptiness is meaningful, and can be traced back to Taoist philosophy to represent the spirit void of thought, a quiet, patient place from which the subliminal can flow. \u201cXIANGSHENG\u201d is an exploration of how solid and void can be combined in perfect unity to become functional<\/strong>, useful, and inspirational. In \u201cXIANGSHENG I\u201d, champagne colored brushed bronze surfaces are combined with oxidized bronze<\/strong> with an Etruscan green patina<\/strong>. In \u201cXIANGSHENG II\u201d, champagne colored brushed bronze<\/strong> surfaces fuse with oxidized bronze with an intense brown patina<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBLOOMING\u201d is the tale of a Chinese \u201cblue and white\u201d icon that crossed centuries and frontiers. Born during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), the Ming vase<\/strong> finds new garments and functionalities under Studio MVW\u2019s creative impulse. With its new deep blue lacquered dress, this ancestral traditional form<\/strong> opens up, literally blooming and transforming itself into a cabinet<\/strong>, a console<\/strong>, a floor lamp<\/strong> or a suspended light<\/strong>, revealing immaculate white secret receptacles. The elegance of the straight lines anodized in polished and brushed brass<\/strong> finishes meets the softness of curves; the precious, bold aesthetics belong to contemporary trends<\/strong>. With \u201cBLOOMING\u201d, Studio MVW emphasizes once again their talent in questioning the memory of forms and materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cSHUIDI\u201d is a collection of bookcases<\/strong> in anodized stainless-steel<\/strong> colored in copper<\/strong>. Inspired by ancient Chinese gardens and shaped like natural water droplets, these bookcases can divide a space without visual barriers.<\/p>\n
