Contemporary Side Table 'Memory Box' by Jia Li
About the Item
Designed in 2008; from a 2012 limited edition of 20.
Side table enclosing handmade a red silk lantern in plexiglass.
From a limited edition of 20 side tables.
5 Memory Boxes are available from the edition of 20 - each is £1,500.
Born in Xinjiang, Jia Li lives in Beijing where he co-founded LiSpace, a centre for design development. He was one of the young designers at the forefront of the city’s flourishing design scene combining clean-lined, craftsman-led objects with a contemporary eye and creating unconventional constructions. .
HIs obsession is the unity between spirit and function, the meeting and clash of ancient skills and their survival in a modern context, so challenging in an expanding, fast-paced contemporary China.
1,800 years ago the Chinese began the tradition of hanging red lanterns for prayer and festivals and the lantern-maker’s skills were central to these traditions. This intricate and difficult process is disappearing fast in modern China having been replaced by simpler, commercial, synthetic versions.
Jia Li’s Memory Stools - handmade silk lanterns enclosed in perspex - hold in poetic perpetuity the artistic endeavour of one of the last of these traditions.
