让人们对中国文化和设计有重新的审视并加深他们的印象。设计师以“纯洁”为出发点，整体材料为透明材质，灯光将轮廓打亮，没有任何多余的装饰和细节。在美国，人们对中国产品的印象就是唐人街上大量的纪念品，但是没人会用来装饰他们的房子。而这一款带有传统神韵的精美现代灯饰，无疑非常适合用来装点空间。

The goal with this lighting design was to reintroduce and to hopefully help the audiencegain a different point of view about Chinese culture and design. My theme was the idea of”purity” – the materials used to make the light are transparent, and when lit up the lightilluminates the outline of the shape without any unnecessary decorations or details. To anaverage American, their familiarity with Chinese products are the mass-produced souvenirsyou can find in Chinatown. No one would buy it to decorate their house with seriously, eventhough the original designs that these cheap imitations are copied from are actuallybeautifully designed. With my light, I looked to preserve the purity of the traditionaldesign, but with a contemporary twist so that it can be incorporated into a modern dayliving space.
