People are like trees. We all started from a seed with an intention so pure and perfect. We adapt to our constantly changing world. As time goes by, these moments in our environment are indefinitely and permanently recorded. Layer by layer like the growth rings on a tree, they are preserved like letters in a diary. An archive chronicles what shaped us in our life.
Exclusive Mosaic Series is a humble arrangement of these unique untold individual stories. Together they become an irreplaceable documentary of our life. Life does not exist without us and our stories. Mosaic Series Statement Roger Chen 2006






Archive Coaster Tiles is from the Mosaic Series. We wanted to create a table top piece, casual yet uncompromising that allows the beautiful wood grains to speak to the viewers on their own. We insisted to present each tile in its purest form with no embellishment. The solution was to design a base to hold all the tiles together. Naturally there is only one configuration for all the tiles to fit on the base as seen in the photo.
