Design story

The series started in 2019 derived from the fascination with languages as forms of communications being re-imagined in the contemporary design context.

Based on Chinese language graphic symbols and their disassembling and reassembling ways, we started looking into the design of crossing 3D objects into architectural parts that relate people to the meaning of language.

Since the arrival of the pandemic, the ‘new normal’ experiences make people struggle for direct communication and connection, another layer of meaning has been taken on the designs.

Language vessel

As a starting point, some basic Chinese symbols have been picked and made with ceramic into ‘Language Vessel’: Humans 人, Fields 田. The further ideas include Seas 海, Mountains 山.

Language-woven

When multiplying one Human 人, new words emerge - Followers 从 and Crowds 众.

Our RnD with a number of materials and in varied forms around re-imagining the meaning of ‘connection’ in the 3D world has opened many potential outcomes: some new beautiful motifs, weaving the units into forms including tiles, surfaces, and installations that feature the oriental cosmology of boundary-less, open-ending and infinity.
