At Maison & Objet: Carnival of the Triangle

At Maison & Objet: Carnival of the Triangle

Joseph Starr - September 7, 2024

Designer Aijing Tang established the brand Tough Cookie in 2022.

The idea behind Tough Cookie is to embrace the sweet, chewy interior that often lies behind a rough or hardened exterior.

This metaphor takes form in “Carnival of the Triangle,” chairs that use the three-sided shape to explore the intersection of hard and soft, angular and curved.

Tang says the chairs also pay homage to the Memphis Movement, in which triangles often took center stage as design elements. Yet Tang offers a unique spin, “maintaining this symbolic element and deviating from the original triangular stable structure to explore additional possibilities.”
