red dot: Best of the Best for Yin Yang Chaise Longue by Dedon

PRESS RELEASE

The graphic representation of Yin and Yang in the form of the Chinese Taiji symbol illustrates the dual principle of the Asian philosophy, according to which balance can only be obtained as harmony of opposing forces. The design of the Yin Yang chaise longue created by the Swiss designer Nicolas Thomkins draws on this philosophy and for that received a distinction.

Yin Yang is a collection, which has its origin in the harmony of forms. The designer Nicolas Thomkins got the idea for this at the beach. He drew the first sketch into the sand using a stick: A piece of furniture made of two elements, as if formed by nature—like stones sanded by water or dunes shaped by wind. Yin Yang combines the dynamic opposites of the oldest Chinese philosophy in a harmonic interplay of colour and form—the bronze and platinum coloured fibre reflects this harmony in the alternation of convex and concave surfaces.
