寓物設計 Yuwu Design

Yuwu Design is a craft brand founded by artist Liao Pai-Hsien, rooted in Eastern lacquer art and mother-of-pearl inlay techniques. The brand transforms traditional craftsmanship into contemporary functional objects. Signature works include "Raden Metalwork," which combines traditional raden inlay with metalworking, and "Fired Foil Botanical Paintings," which use dyed metal foils to capture natural colors. Liao skillfully employs natural materials such as lacquer, eggshell, and shell, translating delicate handwork into a visual language rich with temporal texture. His practice spans painting, sculpture, and installation, integrating industrial design thinking to explore the boundaries between rational structure and handmade warmth. Yuwu Design repositions traditional craft not as a static relic but as an evolving creative force for everyday aesthetics.
