Phillipe Starck was quoted
as saying that Patrick Chia is creating, "new forms of furniture that
both exploit technology and defy convention." It is the organic nature
of the furniture that sets it apart. "A design may be called organic when
there is a harmonious organization of the parts within the whole, according
to structure, material and purpose. Within this definition there can be no
vain ornamentation, but the part of beauty is none the less great- in ideal
choice of material, in visual refinement, and in the rational elegance of things
intended for use.", says noted design critic Eliot Noyes.
