Influenced by happiness. The gingko tree, with its unmistakeable leaves, is considered a tree of happiness in China. Many also call it a “temple tree”. A beautiful reason for us at Vorwerk to use the stylised shape of the gingko leaf as inspiration for FLAKE. A visual and form language, occasionally reminiscent of the Far East, that lends each room a balanced feel and harmony. Or, put in other words: an atmosphere with the goal to give fantasy the space it deserves. Especially when overarching structures and patterns ensue through an installation design of many colours.
