Behind the Funnel Series

IN BLOOM / The Flower Edit [FEATURED ARTISTS] Sharing artists for our upcoming pop-up: @melodychenstudio Melody Chen is a multidisciplinary designer whose work explores the relationship between material, emotion, and everyday ritual. For In Bloom, she will be presenting her Funnel Series — sculptural objects inspired by stretched latex forms, where flower stems and incense interact with soft void-like openings to create moments of tension, pause, and stillness. @arydotcom Aryana is a Canadian designer working across digital media, 3D, and handcrafted objects. Alongside playful experimental design practices, she creates hand-beaded jewelry and pouches inspired by vintage floral illustrations and botanical charts — delicate pieces that feel nostalgic, whimsical, and alive. @maviiischen Mavis Chen creates jewelry inspired by blooming both in form and feeling. Her flower-shaped brass earrings gradually develop warmth and character over time, reflecting the idea of growth as something slow, evolving, and continuously unfolding. 05.22–05.31 41 Baldwin St.🌷

Accordion Bench 🪗 Growing up, when entering a Taiwanese household, the phrase “Please remove your shoes” is often heard before any “Welcome in”s or “Thanks for coming”s. Following suit is a sign of respect for the host and a cultural practice passed down through generations. Even as families immigrated across seas, this practice is deeply instilled into our households. The Accordion Bench is a contemporary interpretation of this custom. The bench is intended to be placed at the entryway of your home to greet and encourage guests to take a seat and remove their shoes in comfort. Photography by LeiLei Zhao

Conception - the design of the clear block vase started with a balloon. While experimenting with latex, I noticed the stretched material creating an organic funnel when pressed, a beautiful form reminiscent of the natural shape of a bouquet.

Happy new year! For me, 2024 was a year of opportunity and growth. I feel extremely honoured to be selected as one of the winners of @lampthecompetition , hosted in partnership with @designmilk . My entry, titled Shelf Angle, came together through countless hours of design and prototyping. I'm super grateful for those who helped me along the way and for everyone who's following along! I have lots of exciting new projects planned for the year ahead and I can't wait to bring them to life 🌟 Photography by LeiLei Zhao · · · #design #designer #productdesign #productdesigner #industrialdesign #industrialdesigner #vancouverdesign #vancouverdesigner
