Born from the creative collaboration between Fancesca Lanzavecchia and Hunn Wai, PLAYplay is a daring collection crafted for compact smart living spaces, playful people who are unafraid of colour.

The spirit of play forms the driving narrative behind the collection, each piece consciously representing the young-minded positivity of a life filled with fun. This forward-looking energy is seamlessly juxtaposed with a touch of retro design influence: a reference to the 20-year heritage of Journey East as curator and restorer of rare vintage furniture.

Accordion is a console designed with a lenticular visual effect – a burst of colour when seen from one side, and when seen from the other side, its appearance changes to the natural grain of wood. Not to be underestimated as just a decorative statement for the living room, the Accordion console is built to accommodate modern televisions, and also features practical shelving and storage space for media players and discs

You can ‘feed’ the Hamburger side tables your magazines and remote controls to keep the top surface neat and tidy. When you have more guests around the house, take off the top ‘bun’ of the Hamburger and you’ll have an extra coffee table to place your beverages and snacks

With hidden compartments on each end that easily store your table tennis bats, net and a ball, you and your guests can have an impromptu game of ping pong any time you like. The Scandinavian-Retro inspirations of Pong are also complemented by laminated wood layering on the table legs, inspired by the details of a classic table tennis bat. Ping is a bench crafted from solid mahogany.
The addition of wheels on one side allows it to be wheeled easily to any space in your house, ensuring that it is functional yet versatile at the same time.
