Furniture has always been an integral part of one’s home, but thanks to the Soft Form collection, not only can your furniture be stunning, it can also stand out from the rest.
Designer Alvin Huang started a revolution in furniture. He wanted to combine sleek beautiful styles, with a practicality and the ability for the piece to function properly. His new collection has an array of pieces with all their own interesting properties.
The ‘Asteroid,’ which is a coffee table, is dropped down in the middle to allow the piece to be reversible. If you flip it one-way, the table would be made complete by balancing a sheet of glass in between the three legs. However, if flipped on the reverse side, the table then becomes standard where the base is now the tabletop. The other names of his designs include Magma and Venus. Huang clearly has a different approach to furniture, and it is refreshing that it is not only aesthetically beautiful but also functionally exceptional.
