Safe to say, I love everything that artist Furze Chan does. From her whimsical paper puppets and soft toys to her miniature art books, there is a sense of wonder and purity in the small-scale productions of this Hong Kong designer that appeals to the child in me.
It is no surprise then that Furze Chan's sun-lit studio should also be an inspiration. In a space that is both minimal and personal, this paragon of paper and stitch lords over a kingdom of miniatures, curating and creating goods for her two brands: Ferse Verse and With Her Animal Poetry.
