Within our design studies, the visual language of our pieces draws from long-standing structural systems in Chinese design. Practices refined by Miao artisans in China are among these references. These systems are approached not as fixed references, but as frameworks through which form has been developed and clarified over time.

Architectural lines, classical motifs and the balanced order found in historic objects provide formal clarity that informs how each form begins. Motifs such as spirals, butterfly forms and geometric arrangements recur across generations, carrying principles of proportion and rhythm.

We work with these references carefully, not to reproduce traditional pieces, but to understand the ideas and structural logic they contain. Each motif serves as a point of orientation rather than a direct pattern, allowing it to transition into a contemporary context without losing coherence.

In this approach, proportion and detail are adjusted with restraint. What remains is not symbolism, but clarity of intention. The form is informed by inherited structures and shaped for present-day use.

Culture continues through use and reinterpretation. When established structures enter a modern context, they offer continuity without fixation.
