Finding yourself getting lost within as you walk the winding paths follow along the river and around the mountain. You are immersed among the trees as the breeze carries the birds high above. Translating this moment of peace within nature into the world of cables, Emerson starts with an elegant rib that flows into winding paths of cables, that transcend into a flowering crown.
