The Design

About Formosa Sapphire Lenço

Formosa Sapphire é um lenço de seda decorado com um padrão do faisão-de-Swinhoe, uma espécie de ave endêmica de Taiwan. O design apresenta pinceladas desenhadas à mão, texturas de linhas finas e cores vibrantes. A ave foi estudada por meio de fotografias e livros de referência e, em seguida, desenhada em detalhe. A ilustração foi convertida em arquivo vetorial para preservar as pinceladas e as cores originais, sendo aplicada à seda por impressão digital. O lenço mede 650 por 650 milímetros. A intenção é apresentar as aves endêmicas de Taiwan a um público mais amplo e apoiar a conscientização sobre a conservação das aves.

During the conversion process, adjustment work was time-consuming and challenging because the designer wanted to keep the original strokes and bright colors.
Research: Since Swinhoe's Pheasant is difficult to find, the designer observed the appearance of the animal through photographs and from the book Wild Bird of Taiwan, then drew the beautiful appearance of the animal delicately.
Inspiration: Swinhoe's Pheasant is a kind of endemic species in Taiwan. It is covered in feathers with blue color and its gestures are eye-catching and difficult to see. The designer was once lucky to see the Swinhoe's Pheasant in a mountain, and she was immediately impressed by the animal. She believes these birds should be introduced to the world. At the same time, people can also raise the awareness of endemic species birds conservation.
