"It only felt natural for Wilson Associates to collaborate with SynerCh'i on the development of a Feng Shui inspired furniture line after applying the principles and seeing them work in our own office space" said Margaret McMahon, principal of the New York office. "We agreed that there is an opportunity in the furniture community to create a collection for discerning clients who seek a more holistic environment."

The inspiration for the conceptual design for the "Prosperity Collection" is derived from the five natural elements - drawing its strength from wood, fire, earth, metal and water.

• Wood: Realized through the choice of decorative Macassar ebony wood veneer and its naturally irregular vertical striping.


• Fire: The fire element is represented by the fine leather used on the headboard's circular design, the leather upholstered chairs and ottoman; illumination and triangle shapes are displayed to also represent the element.


• Earth: Shown in the incorporation of square and rectangular shapes and the beautifully-honed cream marble.


• Metal: Brilliant polished chrome appoint the dresser, desk and nightstand legs, the lounge chair and ottoman feet, and the hardware pulls; the circular shape was introduced to the bed and mirror to complete this element.


• Water: The round mirror's crystal glass signifies the flow and undulation of water; the tablets on the nightstands are crafted in mirror to represent the water element. Black glass toppers to the desk, dresser and a black trim in the design of the chairs and ottoman introduces the water element in the rest of the Collection.

The utilitarian design also adds a contemporary component to the forms to speak to a broad audience and utilize space effectively. The Collection can be customized to fit special needs and also comes in a variety of colors. According to Mark Norcross, president of Mark David, "With this collaboration, we have created a collection that is not only sophisticated and versatile but designed to create positive energy and sense of balance in a room."
