Yuan-Chi Lee

Summary
Final work

London-based designer, rooted in Taiwan.

Focuses on 3D modelling as a way to merge East Asian philosophical thought with the structural clarity of Western design. Working across jewellery and silverware, the practice explores ideas of stillness, balance, and form. It reflects a quiet dialogue between tradition and modernity, where digital processes meet contemplative craft.

Yuan-Chi’s upbringing was imbued with ikebana, the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement. These fleeting encounters blossomed into five years of devoted study, inspiring her designs to embody the serene tension of water. She draws inspiration from rain chains and water gutters – vessels that momentarily hold fluidity – shaping metal into wearable, vase-like forms that hold droplets of water through hand making and 3D printing. Yuan-Chi has created a collection that combines art and function, an echo of mono no aware, the beauty of the ephemeral.
