“THE TEMPEST” F/W 2024 TEASER ERGO [PROXY] interprets Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” through the lens of Carl Jung. It explores the transformative aspects of human nature by visualizing each character’s Jungian archetype. “THE TEMPEST” envisions a world that merges historic themes with post-apocalyptic ones, juxtaposing brutalist architecture with delicate drapes. The conscious mind wrestles with the conflict between good and evil, seeking to reconcile the positive and negative forces within the unconscious. The interplay between destruction and resurrection, death and rebirth in the play, symbolizes the psychological challenge of harmonizing these dualities. Can the tempest serve as a bridge between these opposites- a catalyst for transformation and a force that also paves a path to reconciliation and freedom? Words cannot begin to express how incredibly grateful I am to the individuals who worked tirelessly to make my vision and dream a reality. Thank you for your endless support and belief in this project and myself. I could not wish for a more amazing team.

Tea Pavilion Benches, 2024 On view in Miami for Design Miami Week with @room_file at @alcova.milano booth B204 12/02-12/08, 11am-7pm The Tea Pavilion Benches is a handcrafted piece that seamlessly combines solid wood, concrete, and steel, featuring details that embody the wabi-sabi philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and authenticity. Each component is meticulously joined using techniques inspired by traditional Japanese joinery. Further influenced by Juci, a traditional Chinese method of ceramic repair using metal staples, the benches are thoughtfully mended with steel at their ends, creating configurations that can form either an L-shaped arrangement or a long, linear seating composition.
