Having an obsessive, deeply-rooted, and somewhat inexplicable passion for everyday objects is practically a required character trait in every Industrial Designer. For that reason, the task of renovating, reinventing, refining, and reforming the most common objects is one of the greatest and most enjoyable challenges for aesthetics visionaries. For millennia, domestic housewares, like furniture, have been a staple for designers to prove themselves by getting people to think about space and arrangement differently, and to appreciate the everyday objects that surround us. The Li-Wai Cup/Vase Series is the quintessence of these notions, and to see something of such contemporary style injected with traditional Chinese roots is simply stellar!
