"Competing Views" is a unique kite by Chicago-based artist Michael Thompson. It exaggerates Mandarin characters into purely graphic elements. To create his kites, Thompson builds split bamboo frames with bamboo collected from Southern China. Over the bamboo, he stretches muslin, then collages and paints. The kites incorporate Thompson's ephemera from his travels to Asia.

What They're Saying

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
