DESIGNER
Song Wen
Zhong
A graduate of the Beijing Art Academy, Song
Wen Zhong’s talent has garnered recognition
through several awards in both China and
Europe. He won the first edition of the Roche
Bobois Design Award based on the theme
of “Nature, universal link between East and
West”. For Roche Bobois, he designed Ava
- a chair that weaves together Chinese sym-
bolism, advanced technology, and environ-
mental responsibility. Made of polycarbonate
injection derived from recycled industrial
waste, the matte version is manufactured
without any new oil-based materials. Since
his early collaboration with Roche Bobois,
Song Wen Zhong has opened his own design
studio in his hometown of Chengdu.
