The creative mind of Maggie Pei is much like that of Labyrinth Garden: a complex network of exquisite connections. Its ceramic tiles, reminiscent of an ethereal dreamscape, are hand-drawn by Pei who conceptualized this piece in a series of four wall-mounted cabinets meant to capture the designer’s subconscious while reflecting the fragmented nature of memory. Their utilitarian use, to hold and conceal, further deepens the finely crafted allegory.
Pei foresees a shifting emotional landscape in the furniture world, “I feel a lot of optimism about the future of design. We are entering an era in which the function of beauty and sentimental value are getting more and more attention and appreciation. There’s a realization of how we as human beings share a collective memory, a shared flow of emotions and empathy. Expressing personal sentiments through creative works is no longer perceived as selfish. Instead, these creations are being regarded as bridges, transcending individual boundaries to foster resonance and connection among people on a universal level.”
