成双成对 / The Inseperables

成双成对 / The Inseperables by kuan ying tang, lisa from netherlands

designer's own words:

There is probably a range of words that can define
成双成对, however in this particular case, it is best described as "a perfect match, a destined pair or the inseparables". Also, it is commonly used in the Chinese culture as a form of greeting to the newly weds, lovers, partners, etc.

We started exploring into daily use objects that have a strong value and may be widely recognized in our lifestyle. Our aim is to create beautiful meanings to ordinary objects while giving them a little touch of love.

As we all know that crystal is an ornament given by nature. The shape of crystal is grown over years and years. Our philosophy is to enhance the abstract beauty that lies genuinely in its natural form. and at the same time, emphasize on the usage/ function of the ideal product.

The inseparable pair of chopstick (w/ holder) is an introductory item for the 成双成对 collection. Each chopstick are designed to look similar and yet different from each other in its own way.
The upper stick can be joined together, this represents a form of unity, and a symbol of conjugal affection and fidelity. The angular surface is formed to capture the rawness of a crystal and at the same time maintain the natural lighting effect.

Last but not least, the 成双成对 can be apply to all household objects with the above characters, e.g: a pair of joining coffee cups, tooth brush and so on.
