four symbols

Inspired by the oriental civilization,

Jadis Cheng created a fresh

interpretation of ancient celestial

animals for the present age.

This series is the combination of

two types of material to represent

the Four Symbols : Blue Dragon,

White Tiger, Vermilion Bird and

Black Tortoise.

To match four types of metal-cold

mobiles, Jadis Cheng created

an unique and modern look

for each one of them.

Reflecting individual style,

each piece of this series has its own

particular definition of character.

 

Blue Dragon

Materials/Stainless Steel

The design concept stems from the

moral of a dragon ascending the pillar.

The cylinder's surface is crafted

on a cambered shape

symbolized the dragon scale.

 

White Tiger

Materials/Aluminum Alloy, Rubber

White Tiger implies the meaning of

gearing up.

Designed from the construct of the

geometric where the rubber and

the aluminum alloy interlaced,

symbolizes white tiger's pattern.

 

Vermilion Bird

Materials/Stainless Steel

Red Sparrow means reborn.

The design concept for this piece

evolves from the moral of phoenix,

which was oviparous and born in the

nest waiting for a soaring flight.

 

Black Tortoise

Materials/Stainless Steel

Black Tortoise implies consolidation.

The hexagon shape is an abstraction

of the Tortoise.

With a hard and solid shell,

it springs up the courage to

regain determination.
