New Year Painting
Furniture design / Product design / Culture innovation
New Year paintings, a traditional type of Chinese painting, are disappearing. What we can do as designers to keep the life of the New Year painting alive? I designed a fishshaped stool based on the collective memory of Chinese New Year painting "Yearly fish". When a person sits on it, the person and the Fish Stool form a classic New Year painting "Yearly Fish", evoking memories of childhood.
This design can also be seen as a design manifesto. Does a New Year painting have to be in 2D? Or are today's cultural and creative products too restricted to a particular design language? Can we create a new way of communicating with traditional culture?
