Appreciation towards Stephanie Langard for providing the following description:

女性设计师Stephanie Langard推出了一款旨在将家人汇聚在一起的地毯。地毯为圆形，中间是一个火炉。Stephanie Langard告诉gooood：“以前的家庭娱乐方式比如电视，还可以把一家人汇聚在一起，而随着科技的发展，新技术的产品让人们的休闲娱乐有了更多的选择，即便一家人住在同一个屋檐下，也是各干各的。而火，可以汇聚人们的本源之火，能将家人汇聚在一起，更多陪伴彼此。”

Historically the television was conceived to transmit information and entertain, but above all to gather neighbours around a single point, to create a bond.Nowadays, new technologies have isolated members of the same family, of different age groups while they live under the same roof. However, these new technologies have permitted us to forge other bonds, other networks in a vast space making our world an even smaller place. At a time where nuclear families are struggling to come together in order to spend quality time with one another, I wish to explore the notion of forging bonds and gathering around quite a primitive element: the fire, like going back to basics. In the very idea of forging a link, and well before involving the final users, I mix up the expertise, disrupt the usual traditional production methods and blend the craftsmen together for the duration of a project.

Beyond the final product, it’s the pathway travelled together, hand in hand, which nourishes my creative approach. In this project, everything works well together to illustrate the bond, emotion, light and heat.
