At the heart of this celebration of Chinese design and craftsmanship, TEARTURE, a flagship brand of high-end furniture in precious wood, unveils its bold vision of contemporary Chinese design. Skillfully merging ancestral know-how and modern aesthetics, TEARTURE pushes the boundaries of art furniture.
The exhibition, a collaboration between Sun Media Group and China National Brand Network, is structured around the five elements – metal, wood, water, fire, and earth – weaving a subtle link between traditional Chinese philosophy and cutting-edge design.
TEARTURE presents unique pieces, true bridges between tradition and innovation:
These creations embody TEARTURE’s philosophy: a harmonious fusion between excellent craftsmanship and contemporary design. Each piece incorporates ancestral techniques such as Dongyang wood carving, bamboo weaving, or traditional lacquer, sublimated by a resolutely modern approach.
Wu Tengfei, master craftsman and founder of TEARTURE, constantly pushes the limits of his art and creativity to offer a new perspective on Chinese design. His approach, deeply rooted in tradition while embracing innovation, paves the way for a unique expression of Chinese cultural heritage on the international stage.
The REVIVING CRAFT exhibition marks a crucial step in the influence of contemporary Chinese design. TEARTURE, at the forefront of this movement, invites the world to discover the richness and creativity of today’s Chinese furniture, carrying a millennial heritage and resolutely turned towards the future!

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — A woman plunged Friday into an 8-meter (26 feet) deep sinkhole in the Kuala Lumpur city center after the pavement she was on caved in, burying her alive, Malaysian authorities said.
The incident happened in Dang Wangi area of the Malaysian capital, where local police chief Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman said that based on eyewitness accounts, the woman was walking along the pavement when the earth suddenly collapsed beneath her.
Kuala Lumpur’s fire and rescue department, which received a distress call early Friday, has said the woman was believed to be an Indian national.
But Sulizmie said he couldn’t confirm her identity, as investigations are ongoing. Rescuers have barricaded part of the area and used an excavator to clear the debris in the hole, but there was no sign of the victim yet.
“The search will continue until the victim is found,” he said. He declined to comment when asked about the possible condition of the woman, or the cause of the incident.
