Te Hoahoa

Mō Soul Tīkera Tī

He tīkera tī rino maka a Soul, i hangaia hei whakakoropupū wai me te whakamaoa tī ki runga i ngā momo puna wera maha. I ahu mai te āhua i te tū māhaki o te whakapakoko kaikōrero pakiwaitara patupatu pahū nō te whare rangatira o Han ki te Rāwhiti, i hangaia anōtia mā te toi o nāianei. Ka maka ā-ringa a Soul mā te tikanga Hainamana tuku iho o te waaki ngaro, ā, ka honoa ngā āhua taparara me ngā āhua porowhita. Kei te mata ngā tauira tongi miraka, ā, mā te kiriuhi kōura o roto, o waho hoki e whakapai ake te ātete ki te waikura. Mā te kakau taha rākau rōhi e whakaiti te whakawhiti wera, ā, mā te kōrere hāngai e riwha pai ai te riringi.

Āhuatanga Motuhake: Lingpo is an iron tea kettle hand cast using the traditional Chinese lostwax method. Its shape is inspired by the relaxed poise of the Han dynasty drumming storyteller, reimagined through contemporary art. The surface is decorated with milk spot patterns and finished with gold plating. It embraces an open design philosophy, accepting all viewer interpretations and presenting a unique dialogue between contemporary and classical aesthetics.

Hangarau Whakanao: Hand cast via lost wax, integrating trapezoidal and circular design languages. The process includes hand drawn modelling, wax model making, casting, grinding and finishing, high temperature oxidation, and both internal/external gold plating. The result is a structurally complex, agile form with exquisite texture, combining utility and artistic value, showcasing the unique spirit of handmade iron kettles and contemporary sensibility.
Wero Hoahoa: The greatest design challenge was the seamless integration of the body, spout, lid, and side handle lines, meeting contemporary artistic aesthetics while sparking infinite imagination, balancing beauty with smooth pouring and ease of use. The most difficult aspect lies in the traditional lost wax casting process, highly intricate and demanding. Coordinating high temperature nitriding with gold plating adds further complexity.
Rangahau: For a long time, iron kettles were constrained by traditional aesthetics and functional demands, mostly adopting stable forms like flat round or square. Lingpo, rooted in the lost wax method, integrates contemporary art concepts to shatter these structural limits and reshape possibilities. The internal and external gold plating not only enhances corrosion resistance but also softens the water and improves mouthfeel.
Whakaaweawe: The morphology of Lingpo, or Spiritual Form, derives from the famous Eastern Han Dynasty drumming storyteller figurine.Its relaxed posture has been artistically reconstructed, evoking multiple images, Chaplin, a gentleman, Pinocchio, without imposing a single interpretation. Instead, it invites viewers to project their own experiences. This open design concept endows the object with stronger visual intrigue and imaginative space.
Roanga o te Kaupapa: The project commenced in Beijing in March 2025, with the initial design finalized in April 2025. The final piece was produced in October 2025 and exhibited at the Songzhuang Grand Canal Art Season in Beijing later that month.
Rerenga Mahi: Lingpo can be used for boiling water and brewing tea, compatible with multiple heat sources. The side rosewood handle offers excellent heat insulation and follows the natural inward rotation of the wrist when pouring. The spout and lid feature consistently angled, inward cut geometry. Water flows smoothly along the spout, minimizing dripping, with a clean cut off. The inner rim of the lid is extended so that even when the kettle is fully tilted, the lid remains securely in place.
