Industry Partnership
Connecting the preservation of filigree craftsmanship with workshops, museum culture and contemporary design.
Project overview
Filigree inlay is one of the traditional crafts known as the Eight Great Arts of Beijing. This collaboration with CHJ Jewellery connects the continued practice of the craft with brand development and new design possibilities.
The work brings together craft workshops, museum development and designer residencies. By inviting designers to work with traditional techniques, the partnership creates new connections between skilled handwork and contemporary jewellery.
The Filigree Candy collaboration with nendo designer Oki Sato is one example of this approach: translating a complex traditional technique into a contemporary design that can reach new audiences.
Exhibitions, cultural storytelling and creative partnerships.
Cultural narratives, interactive displays and hands-on craft experiences.
Craft stories and visual content that connect heritage with new audiences.
Connecting artisans, designers and brands through creative collaborations.
