Chinese Tale — Hanxu, Jieting Chen
China is considered to be the factory of the world, manufacturing almost everything under the sun. The impression people have is that everything made in China is cheap and of low quality. How did this come to be, and where is Chinese design going now?

China has a lengthy, rich and varied cultural heritage. How can this be transferred and developed into modern design objects? This project is about finding the essence of ‘Chinese-ness’, and how that unique element can be embodied in design outcomes, so that they pay tribute to the past while also looking to the future.
