Adrian Cheng and Uchida Design Inc. Present “Wander from Within” Exhibition Unveiling the First Artisanal Furniture Collection by Adrian Cheng and Shigeru Uchida

Adrian Cheng and #uchidadesign Inc. are proud to present Wander from Within, an exclusive #design exhibition featuring an all-new artisanal furniture collection co-designed by Cultural Tastemaker #adriancheng, and award-winning Japanese designer Shigeru Uchida. The exhibition is set to run on 4 – 8 April 2017 at the prestigious Villa Necchi Campiglio, Milan, coinciding with the annual Milan #design Week (Salone del Mobile Milano). Wander from Within is the maiden #design show of #adriancheng, founder of K11 and K11 Art Foundation, and it marks the first collaborative project by the late Japanese designer Shigeru Uchida (1943 – 2016) who, through #design, explored the sensibilities of the ephemeral and the ritualistic tea ceremony in Japanese culture. Combined with Cheng’s unique use of fine detailing, the collection prompts users to re-think the definition of space and the man-nature connection even in a confined setting. Comprising five unique furniture pieces, the collection, entitled Khora, is a poetic take on #design and is the last furniture collection by Uchida-san, who died in November 2016 before the completion of the designs. The exhibition in Milan will therefore double as a tribute to Uchida-san and his impactful career. “I’m very pleased to announce my first furniture collection that was co-designed with Shigeru Uchida. It was a great honour to have worked alongside and learned from the venerable designer who, through this project, continued to inspire, even at the age of 73,” said Cheng. “With this collection we are illustrating the power and role of furniture, and the essence of Asian sensibilities, particularly in the act of sitting down.” The collection will be produced in limited numbers, while the prototypes, produced by master Japanese craftsman Chuzo Tozawa, will be brought to Hong Kong following the exhibition for an exhibition and a charity auction. Wander from Within is set to become a key satellite #event throughout the duration of the Milan #design Week. WanderfromWithin AdrianandUchida
