Inspiration: The Heritage Collection in melamine
“ROOTED IN MY ASIAN HERITAGE, I WANTED TO
CREATE A COLLECTION THAT REFLECTS AND
REINTERPRETS THAT LINEAGE IN A CONTEMPORARY
WAY. THE MOTIF MIMICS ANCIENT CHINESE BLUE
AND WHITE PORCELAIN (MY MOM IS CHINESE),
AND THE TEXTURE AND SHAPE OF THE PLATTERS
HAVE A SCULPTED, HAMMERED LOOK THAT GIVES
THE COLLECTION A HANDMADE, ARTISANAL FEEL.
BEYOND THE DESIGN AND FUNCTIONALITY, THE
COLLECTION REMINDS ME OF EATING RAMEN AT
MIDNIGHT WITH MY MOM, WHICH IS REALLY WHY
THIS COLLECTION IS SO CLOSE TO ME.”
