I’m interested in the intersections between art, craft and design. By the rattan legs taking upon an abstract form, this piece that reflects on modern multiculturalism and the lived mixed-heritage experience, takes upon a contemplative and contemporary form that signifies rest and ritual in tandem.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alison Poon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57957083971966,"sku":"HC1913","price":850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/files\/AWYP_DragonStool_2026_1.jpg?v=1791364063"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/collections\/HC1913_-_Alison_Poon_-_portrait_image.jpg?v=1788370164","url":"https:\/\/hyphacurates.com\/collections\/suzanne-bethell-copy-1.oembed","provider":"Hypha Curates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
