André Fu at Gallery Sohe 18 May to 19 August 2024, Shanghai

At design exhibition space Gallery Sohe's Shanghai venue, André Fu launches his series of bronze furniture, including lamps, console and coffee tables, and chairs.

Fu has been working on this collection for five years, utilising lacquered wood and natural marble for the furniture surfaces, reminiscent of the textures of East Asian aesthetics, such as the patterns found in Chinese landscape paintings.

The furniture series aims to merge the boundaries between art and design, creating functional pieces and collectible objects.
