“Qin' depicts the action of dipping objects into water", the ancients said.

The preeminent ancient Chinese dictionary 'ShuoWen JuiZi’ also references waterin its definition of the character 沁('qin'). Therefore, Chinese words that incorporatethe character 'qin' are generally used to describe clear shapes, serene images andobjects exhibiting mild or gentle characteristics.

Inspired by the character for 'qin', our studio has developed Qin, a new brand of glassware that exploits the brilliance of crystal as a medium to evoke the literatispirit of reflection and tranguility.

Qin crystal implements are tiny, clean and unpretentious, designed for use in thestudy while practicing calligraphy, for instance, as tea sets, incense holders andreceptacles for other small obiects.

Every delicately cast Qin piece reveals the sublime properties of crystal andcomprises a silent dialogue between objects and humanity. Our studio's long-termengagement with the material allows the exguisite nature of crystal to reveal itselfas a material worthy of reference to serenity and the designation 'Qin'.

Alchemy, an ancient philosophical and practical system, embodies a profound exploration of material transformation, spiritual elevation, and the mysteries of the universe.

"Albedo", known as the purification stage in alchemy, represents an ideal state attained after repeated refinement of matter.

This stage transcends the coarseness and complexity of mundane materials, symbolizing the fusion of spirit and substance.
