DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Xinyi Jiang – Still in Motion

by Xinyi Jiang

The project originates from an exploration of flexible plywood and veneer. I experimented with natural methods such as interweaving and compression to control the material, aiming to preserve the aesthetic form brought by its inherent tension. The contrast between rigid, static solid wood and the fluid, dynamic curves of bent wood establishes a quiet dialogue between stillness and motion. These opposing states are not in conflict but exist in delicate equilibrium — a visual and tactile expression of tension held in pause.
