Graduated from Royal College of Art Classically trained product designer with an interest in exploring the relationship between form, materials and tradition. Achieving the most using the simplest of processes and materials. 

Changing just enough of the form to fulfil its ‘new’ intended function. Clearly seeing what’s been changed and linking to its past material form. It is as much about the process as it is about the outcome. Seeking balance between that which nature makes and that which man makes. Contributing to the ‘Chinese-Elegance’ aesthetic.

The core idea of this work is to express how people connect and draw close to the intrinsic nature of materials, and to present and interpret copper—a traditional craft material—in a simple and straightforward way.

Copper, in its pure form, exudes an innate grace and solemn beauty that resonates with Chinese aesthetic ideals. It reveals its simplicity, elegance and uniqueness in any surrounding context.

My fascination with the concept of "flow" has led me to focus on the constant movement and transformation of humans and nature. Lines can capture the essence of natural flow; a constant connection exists between a table and its user, and the material it is made of can never be overlooked.

This table is a metaphor for the visual beauty of waterfalls. The exquisite copper wires extending beyond the tabletop resemble a waterfall in motion, and the inherent weight of the copper wires itself defines the table’s form and texture. It is precisely this unrefined, unpolished beauty that captivates people.

Humans are naturally drawn to beautiful objects, and this is a simple, personal and intuitive way to forge a bond between people and things.

In modern lifestyles, we are becoming increasingly disconnected from nature, and have less patience to appreciate the inherent qualities of materials. Instead, we indulge in excessive material consumption—this is clearly untenable. We no longer feel moved by, admire or cherish materials, a phenomenon I refer to as the "flawed modern lifestyle". Discouraging such reckless material waste is the core tenet of the YUNSHU brand.

To simply appreciate the natural beauty emanating from materials is the highest form of respect for them. This is the essence of Zen, and it is also deeply rooted in traditional Chinese craftsmanship.
