Appreciation towards Robert van Embricqs for providing the following description:

Robert van Embricqs对错综复杂的自然形式相当着迷并从中寻找灵感，他的家具设计相当简约，一个平面表面能优雅的飞变成为造型独特的家具。这一系列硬木制家具有桌子，椅子，还有曾经给大家介绍过的边桌（Rising Side Table）。功能与审美完美结合，实用并且独特。创新的铰链系统保证了这个系列重量轻，易于变形，且坚固。

Robert van Embricqs is fascinated by the esthetically pleasing, yet intricate complexity of the natural form. Finding inspiration for his designs in bone structure, plant life and movement, one question remained ever present: ‘to what degree is the object you’re creating capable of dictating its own design?’

He focused his attention on finding new ways to adapt the techniques he developed during the chair’s design for different pieces of furniture.

This led him to develop a minimalistic design approach that can best be described as a collaboration between designer and his material. Van Embricqs always starts out by making small incisions in a flat surface, then sits back to watch and study the otherwise rigid wood’s reaction to the new shape it is able to assume.

An important aspect of his design process is Van Embricqs’ conscious focus on marrying functionality with an esthetically pleasing look. Too often, flexible furniture is designed with only practicality in mind, resulting in some rather unappealing final products. A conscious choice for functionality in design, doesn’t necessarily mean one has to be burdened by conformity, let alone predictability.

On top of that, the Rising Furniture is constructed using an innovative new hinge system that ensures its light weight and easy to handle, without losing any of its esthethic qualities.

What sets apart the Rising Furniture line, is the fact the products always revert to their base form. Whether it is the Rising Chair, Table, Side-Table or Stool, at the end of the day they all return to the flat, wooden surface material they originated from… Ever ready to rise again.
