Crane (he ้นค)
I'm working on a new project and would like to share some of my inspirations with you. For me Chinese symbols have been always a rich source of inspiration. Symbolic meaning has played a significant role in the lives of the Chinese. As well as linguistic symbolism, there are symbols which originated from ancient cosmological and mythical beliefs. Symbolic meanings form an intrinsic part of culture and are readily understood by Chinese people. One of my favorite symbols is the Crane.

The crane is a symbol of longevity because it lives a long life and its white feathers stand for old age. It also represents high status as the crane is regarded as ‘a bird of the first rank’ in the imperial hierarchy. Flying cranes symbolises a wish or hope to become an official in a higher position.

Interior Inspiration

| Nickel Plated Metal Coffee Table by Philippe Hiquily, 1968 |
This is one of my favorite interior looks: Mid-century steel table combined with plush carpets and antique Asian screens. Pure luxury.
