The Things is a set of polygonal bowl inspired from a philosophy with a sense of Zen. The bowl set of 5 which are seen as 5 different bowls, but all are the same indeed, just the open top is on different planes so that people would think those are totally different in shape. It delivers an idea of equality and respect in one world. The set also represent the Five Elements as Metal, Wood, Water, Fire & Earth. Each is designed as a polygon with unconventional shape as tableware, home decors and art sculpture. Every piece of the set is polished with a crisp & mirror finish.

- Inspiration
- The design idea is from the philosophy of The Equality of Things by Zhuangzi who was the philosopher in the ancient Asia. Under ZEN, everything is the same, and people agree or deny other’s point of views are based on their own perspective subjectively. This inspires us to create the polygonal bowl set of 5 which are seen as 5 different bowls, but in fact the bowls are the same, just the open top is on the different planes. From a start to the end, it is the same thing, no matter of race & origin.
