裏-外
Li-Wai
2013
“裏-外”系列的设计概念源于不同形状的传统中式容器。其多有著美丽的器型和比例，而将这些优雅的线条和日常生活中常见的玻璃杯进行结合能营造出一种里外不同的意境。杯子的内与外，正与负构建出的留白空间看似无用，但却是能隔绝或高或低温度的功能所在。随著装盛的不同内容物的颜色变化，如同为传统器具披上美丽的现代外衣，让人们在使用时也有如欣赏著新旧事物的相互融合之美。
The concept of the series stems from different types of traditional Chinese containers such as vases and bowls. Elegant outlines and proportions, are combined with the shape of everyday cups to create intriguing products for daily use. The design aims to bring the beauty of tradition back into modern daily life. When the cup is filled with liquids, the “vase” or “bowl” appearsreminding people of the beauty of traditions, while they enjoy a simple drink.
