- Production Technology
- Crafted with 100% double-cocoon mulberry silk as the core and a natural silk shell, the quilt offers a lightweight, warm, and skin-friendly touch. Its cover features an exquisite embroidered butterflies with meticulously detailed wing veins, where colorful pearls and intricate stitching create a three-dimensional effect. The interplay of lustrous silk threads and glistening pearls—woven via a delicate balance of void and solid—reveals richly layered textures, exuding a charm of lively elegance.
- Design Challenge
- The core challenge lay in harmonizing subtle cultural expression with clear functional advancement, preserving the silk quilt's inherent softness and Eastern aesthetic essence while achieving a practical structural breakthrough. Moving beyond conventional fixed designs, the team introduced a removable inner shell to replace traditional quilting, directly addressing the difficulty of cleaning and maintaining high-end silk quilts.

Rooted in the philosophy of "metamorphosis," the piece achieves functional breakthroughs through a detachable cover and elevates aesthetics via three-dimensional craftsmanship. This approach preserves the benefits of natural materials while meeting contemporary lifestyle needs, paving a new path for modernizing traditional craftsmanship.
- Inspiration

The detachable structure mirrors the conscious act of emerging from a cocoon, while three-dimensional butterfly motifs capture the dynamic beauty of new wings in flight. This creation explores the delicate balance between "inside & outside," "constraint & liberation," and "heritage & innovation", interpreting modern bedding with Eastern imagery through poetic expression.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in August 2025 in Nantong.
- Operation Flow
- The removable inner shell simplifies cleaning and maintenance, enhancing the intuitive usability of the silk quilt. The lightweight, soft fabric conforms naturally to the body, delivering a skin-friendly embrace that feels soothing and relaxing.
