Zhuang Hong-Yi

Zhuang has worked with a variety of materials and media, inspired by both his Asian background and his knowledge of European culture. He is best known for his “flowerbed” paintings created by folding countless pieces of painted rice paper into tiny blossoms. For this special project he was invited by industrial designer Bastiaan de Vries to realize a new project; ‘Spring Garden Dinner’, a dining table that seats 6 people  enacting with his illuminated flowerbed, covered by just a glass table top. The experience to sit so close to Zhuang’s work and encounter it in this way is truly unique.
