Meet Our Designer：Tianyi Qiu

From the spark of inspiration to a warm and fitting home gift, my design process is like an orderly cultivation. It doesn’t begin with wild imagination, but rather grows from careful observation of “life scenes.” First, I immerse myself in a concrete moment. For example, the warmth of being with family on a winter’s afternoon, or the longing for order and beauty when working at my desk. That scene becomes the anchor for creativity. 

Then comes the “transformation” stage, combining emotional needs with function. I sketch the prototype of an idea, repeatedly refining shape, material, and color combinations.

I advocate a life attitude that is “gentle yet abundant,” which is deeply imprinted in my design philosophy. I believe things have a soul, and a home gift especially should be a vessel for emotion. Therefore, a good home gift must have three qualities:

1.Sincere aesthetics - Not showy, yet enduring under scrutiny.

2.Appropriate function - Naturally used; it solves subtle annoyances.

3.Emotional warmth - It should carry memory, convey care, and become a gentle connection between people.

It should not be a cold commodity, but a poetic footnote in daily life, a small gift to ordinary days.
