Reading, a bridge (for Eslite)
Taiwanese artist Cheng Tsung FENG always focuses on traditional handcrafted culture. For the large-scale installation art for Eslite Bookstore 30th Anniversary, his subject is “Chinese Stitched Binding”, which is a kind of book binding method with a long history.
When the idea becomes text, the text falls on the paper, the paper is bundled through the rope, and it finally assembles together as a book. FENG transforms this binding craft from a plane into a three-dimensional unit like a tile (more than 1500 pieces), then he combines the store's escalator to create a transitional space just like a bridge and a tunnel.
The movement of the escalator is like a book is turning pages. When people set foot on it and the... More

cappello
cappello is a modest tribute to Achille Castiglioni, Pier Giacomo Castiglioni and Ingo Maurer — designers who have given molo (and the world) much joy and inspiration. The Carrara marble base is extracted from the base of the iconic floor lamp designed by the Castiglioni brothers in 1962. cappello is lit by LED and shaded by a paper cap, or “cappello” in Italian. A simple magnetic connection allows the shade to slide to any position along the steel wire that springs from the marble base. The magnetic connection also allows the paper cap to tilt, adjusting the direction of the light and giving this little table lamp a gestural quality. More
Product • By molo • softseating
softseating
The inspiration for softseating comes from a desire for flexible and spontaneous space making. softseating’s magnetic ends allow it to connect to itself forming a cylindrical stool or low table. Elements of the same size can also connect to one another to form long winding benches, providing endless seating topographies. Made from a single material, the beauty of these pieces sits between the representative and the abstract, creatively interchanging with one another. Designed for long term use, over time the surface texture softens into a pleasing natural patina. More
