Symmetry
Year / 2015

In September 2014, the renowned Fujian local magazine HOMELAND initiated a “New Craftsman” project that aimed to inspire the collaboration between young talents and traditional local crafts in Fuzhou within three months. And for this project, Chen Furong created the “Symmetry Scissors” collection based on his understandings and interpretation of the traditional craft of “Fujian” (lucky scissors in Chinese).

The “Symmetry Scissors” collection was an attempt to deviate from the archetypal scissors, combining modern technology with traditional craft, bringing forth both the preciousness of craftsmanship and the strength of modern technology. Chen Furong restructure the scissors and parameterized them so that they can be die-casted. And he applied the traditional craft to refine them. By doing this, the collection is made modern both in its aesthetics and its production, while stressing and highlighting the importance of traditional craftsmanship.
