Free of all convention, YIN YANG has its origins in the harmony of forms. YIN YANG unites the dynamic opposites of ancient Chinese philosophy into a harmonious interplay of colour and form; the bronze - and platinum - coloured fibres reflect this harmony in alternating convex and concave surfaces.
The 4000 meters of fiber was a challenge that at first had to be mastered by even the best weaving craftsman at the DEDON manufacturing facility in the Philippine island of Cebu: a work of art that unites two elements into a flowing forma was the result of close co-operation between the designer and the development team.
The idea came to designer Nicolas Thomkins on the Island of Cebu's beach of Olango. He sketched out the first draft of the design in the sand with a stick: a piece of furniture made up of two elements that appear as if they were formed by nature - like stones worn down by water or sand dunes shaped by the wind.
