The Design

About Golden Butterfly with Pearl Seidendecken

Golden Butterfly with Pearl ass eng Seidendecken, déi fir modern Schlofzëmmeren entworf gouf. D'Fëllung besteet aus 100 Prozent Duebelkokon-Maulbeersied, an déi baussenzeg Hülle ass aus natierlecher Seid gemaach, wat e liicht a waarmt Gefill gëtt. Den Iwwerzuch ass mat Päiperleken bestéckt, an detailléiert Flilleknadelen, faarweg Pärelen a fein Nout kreéieren eng dreidimensional Uewerfläch. Eng erausnehmbar bannenzeg Hülle ersetzt dat traditionellt Quilting, sou datt d'Decken méi einfach ze botzen an z'ënnerhalen ass. Den Design huet d'Metamorphos als Thema, en éistlecht Bild vu Verännerung an Erneierung.

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.​
