Inspired by Silk Road, an expressive portrayal of the infamous
road from Xi’an to Constantinople painted by artist Iris Liu,
this beautifully rendered console and side table blurs the lines
between fine art and furniture design. The original artwork
was digitally printed and hand-applied to each piece in a
way that elevates its form and function, while introducing
vibrant color and a graphic element.
