About Hmong Silver Өвийн Банзал

Чин, Мин гүрний үед эрхэмлэгдэж ирсэн Мамиан өвийн банзал нь хүч чадал, эрх мэдлийн бэлгэдэл болж хайрлагддаг. Дорно дахины түүхэн хоёр гайхамшигт урлагийн арга техник болох сувдан эхийн шигтгэмэл болон Хмонг угсаатны мөнгөн эдлэлийн урлал нь энэхүү загварын үндэс суурь болжээ. Мамиан өвийн банзал эзэмшсэнээр дорно дахины нууцлаг зүйлийн хэсгийг эзэмшсэнтэй адил юм. Энэ нь байгалийн гайхамшиг, хүний авьяас бүтээлч байдал болон үе ба соёл иргэншлийг даван гарсан гоо сайхны мөнхийн эрэл хайгуулын баяр ёслол билээ.

Unique Properties
Popular in the Qing and Ming Dynasties, the Horse-Faced Mamian skirts are beloved for their symbolism. The stallion has long symbolized power, strength, and virility. Wearing a horse-faced skirt was a revering statement for sophistication and wealth.

The Mamian skirts were worn by Empress Dowager Cixi in the Qing Dynasty and Princess Diana. Today, they are worn as a day to day garment in Asia and a symbol of cultural pride.

Production Technology
This project is utilized through fabric and woven methods to resemble the pearl inlay technique using Hmong silver designs.
Design Challenge
There are myriad of stories hidden within its lustrous folds, these silver artifacts are passed down from generation to generation, linking the old with the new, the past with the future. Each intricate pattern is inspired by nature and the cosmos, a delicate dance of the earth and stars, intertwined with tales of love, resilience, and triumph.

In its gleam, we honor the hands and hearts that have breathed life into this ageless tradition through the design. Finding a reflection of humanity's eternal quest for meaning, connection, and beauty.
Research
Two exquisite techniques are used as inspiration for this design, pearl inlay and Hmong silver.

Pearl Inlay is traditionally a furniture technique made from the iridescent inner lining of pearl oysters and abalone, this meticulous technique is both a testament to artisanal skill and nature’s splendor.

The artistry of the Hmong silver knows no boundaries of time. Forged by the hands of skilled Hmong artisans, the Hmong silver work is a distinctive expression of intricate stories, myths, and aspirations, that speak of the Hmong connection to the land, ancestors, and future generations.
Inspiration
A brilliant dance between two exquisite techniques in oriental history : mother of pearl inlays and Hmong silver craft serves as the foundation for this design.

Imagine the very essence of the sea - the allure of its depths, the mysteries of its shimmering inhabitants - captured and rendered into tangible, breathtaking pieces for everyday wear.
Project Duration
12 Months, Changsha, China
Operation Flow
