PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 15, 2024--

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.

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. Skillfully merging ancestral know-how and modern aesthetics, TEARTURE pushes the boundaries of art furniture.

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 - weaving a subtle link between traditional Chinese philosophy and cutting-edge design.

TEARTURE presents unique pieces, true bridges between tradition and innovation:

These creations embody TEARTURE's philosophy: a harmonious fusion between excellent craftsmanship and contemporary design. Each piece incorporates ancestral techniques such as Dongyang wood carving, bamboo weaving, or traditional lacquer, sublimated by a resolutely modern approach.

Wu Tengfei, master craftsman and founder of TEARTURE, constantly pushes the limits of his art and creativity to offer a new perspective on Chinese design. His approach, deeply rooted in tradition while embracing innovation, paves the way for a unique expression of Chinese cultural heritage on the international stage.

The REVIVING CRAFT exhibition marks a crucial step in the influence of contemporary Chinese design. TEARTURE, at the forefront of this movement, invites the world to discover the richness and creativity of today's Chinese furniture, carrying a millennial heritage and resolutely turned towards the future!
