I am both thrilled and honoured to share this new project done by my studio - Tsing-Tien Making 青天製作所. Tsing means cyan; Tien means sky. The studio name draws inspiration from the ancient Chinese phrase – states that “the east is referred to as cyan東方謂之青”, highlighting the significance of the colour “Tsing” in traditional Chinese culture. The atelier’s design approach begins with a focus on tradition. By delving into history, it establishes connections and resonances with contemporary life, creating designs that embody the essence of the present and the history.
