Lunisolar armchair | ARTEMPO

€0.00

The Lunisolar armchair by ARTEMPO is a sculptural statement piece that blends Asian heritage with contemporary collectible design. Defined by its clean architectural lines, generous proportions and a serene sense of balance, the sofa expresses a dialogue between light and shadow—its name referencing the symbolic duality present in traditional Eastern philosophy.
The wide, low seat creates a grounded silhouette, while the subtly angled arms and backrest introduce a refined geometric tension. The contrast between the soft upholstered body and the lacquered side panels, punctuated by a circular inlay, evokes the celestial harmony of sun and moon. Crafted with meticulous precision, this piece embodies ARTEMPO’s mastery in merging craftsmanship, symbolism and modern aesthetics.

ABOUT THE DESIGN

The overall design uses the brand’s signature luxury-coded language, incorporating decorative detailing such as the fine screws on both sides of the lower armrests.
The wide and long seating surface provides a stronger sense of space and improved comfort.
Using an Oriental concept of “a postmodern reflection that transcends time and space”, the minimalist color palette combined with the textured pine creates a scene that feels simultaneously mysterious and familiar — a collision between sensuality and rationality.
Ultimately, everything returns to a logically grounded yet poetic starting point.

About the brand

ARTEMPO

Chris Tang is a talented product designer whose passion for home furnishings was sparked at an early age, inspired by his father, who founded a furniture studio over 20 years ago. Growing up surrounded by creative ideas and innovative approaches to furniture and product design, Chris developed a deep appreciation for the field.

Later, he pursued his studies in architecture at the University of the Arts London, where he immersed himself in a multicultural environment that shaped his unique approach to design. His creative journey reflects the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, combining the structured, conceptual learning from the West with the refined Eastern aesthetic, a hallmark of his work at Artempo.

Artempo itself embodies this vision, representing the "art of time" — a reflection on how pure art can become overshadowed by accumulated objects over time. Artempo seeks to reclaim eternal objects within space and time, capturing the essence of pausing external expansion and focusing on introspection.

Chris's works are deeply rooted in the beauty of the Orient and the legacy of time, carrying forward the lacquer craftsmanship tradition that has been passed down through his family for over two decades. Each piece conveys an oriental temperament infused with a western expression, highlighting the harmonious coexistence of these cultural influences.
