Leg Bowl
The Leg Bowl, a vessel of whimsy, is rooted in the ancient Chinese ding—a ceremonial bowl that first appeared in pre-bronze age and would evolve through time into the European soup tureen. This iteration also draws on the tongue in cheek, semi-body horror design of the famed Sèvres teton-bowl, a cup fashioned in the likeness of Marie Antoinette’s breast poised on three ram’s heads.
Available with different styles of shoes that are issued periodically in limited editions.
Socks are hand knit by Chen’s mom Yanping Zhou.
Arm Vase
Ceramic, fabric, metal, faux fur
The miniature Clyde Creatura Bag is made with the same Italian faux fur the real bag is constructed of. Edition of 50.
The miniature Banker Bag comes filled with tiny bundles of $100 bills. Edition of 200.
Based on the form of an amphora, this vase has two arms as handles. A companion to our Leg Bowl.
Abalone Transition Mirror
2020
Abalone shell veneer is meticulously stabilized with an aluminum backer and then UV bonded to glass, a combination of nature and engineering.
To achieve the lustrous mirror surface, we introduce a silver nitrate solution forging a chemical bond, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. With a deliberate touch, we mix a precise scarcity of silver solution, this technique gives rise to a mesmerizing organic edge, gracefully fading into the clarity of the glass—a harmonious union of natural beauty and craftsmanship.
