Q： Recently, you have launched the Kaoliang-bottle-designed glass product. Do you have any plan that is similar to this idea?
For instance, combine the local characteristics with the Majolica.
We certainly want to expand the market especially the female customer base. It's because some customers respond that the Kaoliang-liquor bottles are too large. Furthermore, the customer base of Kaoliang liquor is the male. Thus, we intend making the proposal to launch the 330 milliliters bottle with our patterns.
Q：One of your works is to pay your tribute to the feminist painter ——Frida Kahlo. Do you plan to design a series of Frida's productions?
We will possibly launch the extension series. However, we have not found the proper artist. We are adjusting the position of this series of Frida's productions. Art includes painting, literature and dance, so we have to select the way of interpretation. The female artists would be taken precedence over male artists because we would like to endow our products with specific meanings like Frida's spirit and female imagery.
Q：Was there something entertaining during the collection?
Of coursse! There were two interesting stories. Firstly, there was a grandmother who dwelled at Guningtou. Her house which was decorated with the Majolica was nearly destroyed during the Guningtou Battle. Luckily, one of the walls was well-preserved so I decided to visit her. When I was way to her house, I saw her dressing up. The grandmother was too busy to greet with me. Finally, she said, "Feel free to visit my house!" Another story was about a grandmother as well. While chatting with her, I suddenly found that she was the matchmaker of my parent. It was meant to be!
Q：Each Majolica has its own meaning. How do you associate the words with pictures?
The original Majolica is beautiful enough, so we just have to create our own style instead of using the intact Majolica. We have to consider the color matching of Majolica whether the Majolica is suitable for modern life. If the Majolica isn't suitable, maybe it can be combined with other elements. For example,we launch the Quemolica exclusive products——the series of Chinese characters and animals' Majolica.
Q：What do you want to tell yourself at the time you just start up?
I want to say, "Let's go forward together!" Although it is hard along the way, I am quite satisfied with it. I think there are many unknown things for me to challenge, and I am looking forward to what I want to do, so I will tell myself, "Let's keep going forward and enjoy more scenery."
Q：How do you think of the wallpaper group?
Majolica is equivalent to the wallpaper group which is the inspiration of our products, that is, I just strengthen the conception of the wallpaper group. Firstly, we extract the elements from the wallpaper group and stengthen them. Then, the designer recombine the elements and Majolica. That's why we have launched various of product rather than selling the exclusive Majolica. There are different forms of aesthetics that I really appreciate.
