After graduating from the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou in 2004, she continued her studies getting a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Communication Design at the College of Fine Arts in Toulouse, France. Between 2006 to 2007, she attended the University of Bauhaus (option art) within the Erasmus European exchange program.

Navigating between Eastern and Western cultural education and living environments, Qian Jing continually seeks visual languages that convey her individuality. She focuses particularly on unexpected, incidental, and humorous visual expressions rooted in daily life, alongside an endless exploration of color. While creating graphic designs for numerous brands and art institutions, Qian Jing began extending her graphic design practice to textile in 2017. That same year, she founded the MEW Handmade Rugs brand, now rebranded as SHAPE OF SHAPES.

SHAPE OF SHAPES is an integrated design service and product development studio. We try to convey “the richest emotions in the most minimal shapes”. The relentless creation of graphic combinations, divisions, transformations, and reconfigure, along with the continuous exploration and experimentation of the relationship between graphics and color, form the driving force behind all our creative endeavors.

Since 2018, SHAPE OF SHAPES has developed a series of handmade rugs, aiming to connect traditional craftsmanship, diverse material exploration, and environmental concerns through a contemporary visual language—using a more humorous, unexpected, and boundary-less experimental approach.

Material：Pure New Zealand Wool

Size（cm）：1100 x 1600 mm

The bubbles we repeatedly try to grasp yet slip away in an instant seem like an “abstract form” of nature and everyday life, creating a conceptual and material contrast with wool's tangible, substantial, and warm qualities. Each bubble is meticulously hand-trimmed by artisans to achieve a thick, rounded curve, endowing the entire carpet—despite its minimalist color palette—with a rich sculptural quality.
