Tim Webber design

The Duffel Ottoman is inspired by drawstring duffel bags and has appropriated some of their various features that express quality and functionality. The ottoman features a strip of differentiating colour at the base which references the leather found on the bottom of a duffel bag. This creates options for customisation with many different fabric colours available. The rope drawstring and various leather accents of the duffel bag inspired the marine rope handles and leather patches of the ottoman. These features paired with the acrylic fabrics of IRISUN collection create a strong sense of quality and workmanship.

Guqi Gao design

Gao Guqi is a young furniture designer who has gained increasing popularity in the last few years. Once a graphic designer, then coffee shop owner and furniture designer, Guqi was born in North Eastern China and has lived all over, from Xiamen to Shanghai. He eventually landed in the capital, where in 2010 launched his own furniture brand FNJI. Despite his many moves and changes, the concept of home was always significant. Nature, simplicity and authenticity are at the core of his creations. His idea of home is a warm and cozy environment; a place of intimacy, relationships and comfort—free from the complexity and the worries of the outside world. With those beliefs and feelings fueling FNJI, the collection is made up of high-quality contemporary furniture that has a touch of Chinese tradition. Everything is made of hard wood, a durable material which gains character with age and can last for generations. The brand name itself (in Chinese “fanji”) embodies the idea of simplicity and a fusion of nature and the “slow life” philosophy which is the very essence of Guqi’s pieces.
