Projects
- East Meets WestThis project is a combination of east and west culture, source its elements from Chinese Qing dynasty and English Victorian era. It was inspired by a china collection from Seletti, the chinas were made from half oriental pattern and half European pattern. The project is to express this fusion idea using knit sculpture forms. The aim is to bring contrasting harmony together for both strong cultures.
- Sustainable LuxuryIt is an exotic project mixed the cultural elements from East and West, keeping the traditional hand-woven techniques and featuring the cutting edge technology on recycled plastics. It is a challenge to achieve commercial looks with playful and creative designs also to deliver with the highest quality the recycled materials can provide.
