·Background
Have you ever thought about the definition of something that you are very familiar with? For example, home. Everyone has a home. But what is home? What should a home be like? And what can we get from a home?
The basic need of home was to provide a sense of security for people. But now, with the rapid development of economy in China, that is not enough as most of us are under same huge stress from work and life as the Japanese and Taiwanese in those days. So what kind of home do we need to adapt ourselves with the fast-paced and highly stressed life?
Nowadays people need better relaxation and enjoyment both physically and mentally at home to get rid of the work anxiety and burden after a stressful day of work. In this case a home is expected with the function for relaxation, stress releasing and replenishment of energy so that people can regain the physical strength, energy and passion for the next day.
The idea of “furniture for vacation” was first brought up by Artie in 2012 China Rendez-Vous in Sanya. During the affair, Artie proposed to redefine home and think about what kind of home would be like. As the carrier of life, home is where we need to improve for a better life. Let’s use vacationing furniture to decorate home as a place for vacation. Make life better by making every home a vacationing home.
