Typhoon passed followed by days of raining, finally the sky is clear and blue on this public holiday. I stayed at home musing on recent events while my wife had an afternoon walk with my son.
The afternoon is so quiet: coffee, polaroid, fragrance candle, camera.... This rare opportunity is definitely a quiet moment before storm, I mean usually 2nd half of the year is the busiest at work, stress tends to build up drastically events after events.
One of the objects I recently fell in love with is this coaster set I got from Shanghai 2 weeks ago. Designed by Shanghai architect/designer Leslie Chen who founded
Grotto Design Creations, these coasters/tiles incorporates the cloud motif found in textile fragments from the
Ma Wang Dui Han tomb (
馬王堆漢墓, ~180 B.C.). The artworks were first hand painted on ceramic tiles and then went through a delicate printing process to look exactly like the original hand painting in both colors and textures. Looks like they are going to have stickers available too. Absolutely love the patterns.
