The art artwork above is a Chinese Gongbi painting. Hundreds of art artists participated in the submission process and selected exquisite story paintings. After high-definition scanning and inkjet printing, they were embedded into the product.
Design Challenge: The original story is presented to the world in words, and designers create these paintings and shapes through their understanding and imagination of the words; His production process was very difficult in the early stages because it involved manual shaping and painting.

Subsequently, the designer optimized the technology of modern commercial production, preserving the original beauty of the design in a more primitive way.
Research: The designer conducted 700 days of research on cultural stories and planned the direction by mastering technical knowledge. During the 3D modeling process, they tried hundreds of sculpture modeling schemes and concretized them. Twenty participants raised thousands of adjustment questions from different professional perspectives.

Inspiration: This is a Chinese billiards table. The inspiration comes from the Chinese mythological story Journey to the West. The six display panels have six themes, including the powerful Bull Demon King, the burning Guanyin Temple, the late drum, the Little Western Heaven, the Battle of the Hundred Eyed Demons, and the Golden Country Wind Returning to Flower and Fruit Mountain. The fusion of cultural colors brings charm to the product. The shape of the six legs is the Sea God Needle. The six column head relief represents the six senses of Buddhism.
