T4

For Alcova 2023, experimental London design studio Holloway Li and futuristic furniture brand Uma have teamed up to stage their T4 collection including the launch of a new edition. The installation will see Holloway Li and Uma’s collaborative retro futurist T4 chairs take up temporary residency for Alcova. Set amidst nature, the modular designs bloom in dialogue with one another, inviting visitors to retrace the optimism of the 90s. The playful curved seating takes its cues from molded composites used in the automotive industry whilst its retro palette and chubby silhouette nod to the youthful energy of design at the turn of the millennium whilst musing on its possibilities for the future.

Uma is a producer of moulded objects, working collaboratively with designers to develop pieces made to last. Uma is powered by Polkima, a leading manufacturer for moulded composite parts for some of the giants of the automotive industry, including the interior fit-outs of the iconic London buses. As a new furniture label, Uma pushes the boundaries of furniture fabrication and backed by over 30 years of production experience, provides an extraordinary testing ground for designers where their ideas can be realised from start to finish.

Uma pushes the boundaries of fabrication and works collaboratively with designers to produce high quality, long lasting pieces.

Holloway Li was founded by creative Interior Architect duo Alex Holloway and Na Li. The studio’s built work covers a diverse catalog covering retail spaces, hospitality, and select private homes.
