About Golden Butterfly with Pearl Cwilt Sidan

Mae Golden Butterfly with Pearl yn gwilt sidan a ddyluniwyd ar gyfer ystafelloedd gwely modern. Mae'r llenwad wedi'i wneud o sidan mwlberi cocŵn dwbl 100 y cant, ac mae'r gorchudd allanol wedi'i wneud o sidan naturiol, gan roi teimlad ysgafn a chynnes. Mae'r clawr wedi'i frodio â phili-palod, ac mae gwythiennau adenydd manwl, perlau lliw a phwytho cain yn creu arwyneb tri dimensiwn. Mae cragen fewnol y gellir ei thynnu yn disodli cwiltio traddodiadol, felly mae'r cwilt yn haws ei lanhau a'i gynnal. Mae'r dyluniad wedi'i seilio ar thema metamorffosis, delwedd Ddwyreiniol o newid ac adnewyddiad.

Unique Properties: Inspired by the Eastern philosophical concept of "metamorphosis into a butterfly," this design integrates natural imagery into bedding design. It breaks from traditional quilting techniques by introducing a removable inner cover and pearl-studded craftsmanship, solving the practical challenge of cleaning high-end silk quilts. This extends the product's lifespan and adaptability while echoing the theme of "breaking free from the cocoon."
Dimensions & Packaging: Size: 2000mmx2300mm
Weight: 1.25kg
Tags: Embroidered Butterflies, Removable Design, Soft Eastern Aesthetics, Silken Touch, 100% Double-Cocoon Silk
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.
Research: Traditional silk quilts often suffer from cleaning difficulties due to fixed structures, with cultural expressions remaining superficial. 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: Design Inspiration stems from the philosophy of "metamorphosis," symbolizing life's transformation and cyclical renewal. 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. The quilt surface showcases exquisitely embroidered butterflies, where pearls and delicate stitching techniques create a delightful fusion of visual and tactile indulgence.
