The Los Angeles–based design studio takes on its most ambitious project yet: an immersive installation inspired by nature and folk legends

After working for two decades in the realm of handcrafted sculpture, furniture and installations, designer David Wiseman (born 1981) has created a signature palette of various mediums. The unique mastery of these materials prepared Wiseman to embark on the largest and most cohesive exercise of his imagination thus far: a Gesamtkunstwerk in a Hong Kong apartment comprising of screens, furnishings, lighting, wall and floor treatments. Designed in conversation with two of Monet’s Water Lilies paintings held by the owner, the multidimensional space weaves motifs from the renowned Giverny gardens with ancient Chinese mythological narratives. This publication traces the journey of this “total work of art” from sketch to final installation, with detailed photography and captions on the production process for each material employed: bronze, porcelain, plaster and glass, as well as enamel, terrazzo and wool.
