Projects

COEXISTENCE – Implicitly refers to the "Fictitious & Realistic Coexistence" concept. Two trays with undulating landscapes draw inspiration from this theory and the Chinese philosophy of "The Sky and Earth Coexist." In Chinese art, "Blank" spaces are often used to convey the beauty of balance and emptiness, embodying the philosophical idea of the "Conclusion of the Virtual and Real."
COEXISTENCE – This principle suggests that all things possess duality and relativity, such as sky and earth, yin and yang, light and dark, hardness and softness, and bumps and smoothness. These dual elements are interdependent and complementary, creating a harmonious balance.
UTOSPACE – The design concept of UTOSPACE is inspired by the ideal country of Utopia and the Asian philosophy found in "The Analects of Confucius ‧ Zilu." Both influences embody spiritualism, harmonious integration, and great unity. The product features a futuristic cityscape design, divided into three layers representing buildings, land, and sea, symbolizing a cohesive country. Each part can be assembled or used separately, enhancing multifunctionality and reflecting the principle of "Harmony in Diversity" from "The Analects of Confucius.
UTOSPACE – Eastern and Western philosophies, while originating from different contexts, often share similar meanings. UTOSPACE merges these philosophical ideas through its design, unifying them in both appearance and function to create a cohesive and meaningful product.
CRYSTALLAR – Design inspired by crystal clusters. Each of the three shakers resembles a crystal pillar with a hexagonal prism shape, and when arranged together on the holder, they form a miniature crystal cluster. These stainless steel shakers, shaped like crystal pillars, are perfect for holding all-natural mineral or herb seasonings. The design reflects the concept of the interconnectedness of all life in nature.
FRAGMENTS – The concept behind this flask design is inspired by the idea of fragments. Life is composed of moments of joy and sorrow, and we often experience these special times with a drink in hand, whether alone on a journey or celebrating with friends. Each flask is uniquely designed to resemble a different fragment, and when combined, the three flasks fit together perfectly, symbolizing how individuals can share their moments with loved ones, coming together in unity. The outer mirror-polished finish evokes the image of fragmented mirrors, reflecting the memories of life. This design aims to infuse art and inspiration into daily life by transforming simple objects into something unconventional and meaningful.
THE THINGS – This set features 5 uniquely designed bowls, each crafted as a polygon with an unconventional, sculptural form reminiscent of art blocks. Every piece is polished to a crisp, mirror finish on the exterior. The design is inspired by the philosophy of "The Equality of Things" by Zhuangzi, an ancient Chinese philosopher. This philosophy suggests that all things are fundamentally equal, and that people’s acceptance or rejection of different perspectives is shaped by their own subjective viewpoints.
