"qiǎo gōng lǐ qì" presents the design stories of the tools which are used in the handicraft production.
Tools are the integral media for implementing skills of creation. To produce the best tools, the manufacturer has to understand the actual functional needs of practitioners on performing special technique, material treatment and personalized art expression, in order to decide the form, structure and material, and optimize them continuously.
We capture this phenomena of design thinking that lies between "hand" and "craftsmanship" in traditional industries. From the perspective of product design, we attempt to examine the possibility of commercializing the embedded local cultural values in the field of modern creativity. It re-ignites the ancient wisdom of creation, which provides unique inspiration in the contemporary life landscape.
