Design Challenge

The creativity within this design lies in the transformation of the tradition sword lion facial features and combining Chinese 5 elements philosophy of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth into a more interesting colorful graphical illustration. In order to preserve and spread out the culture totem, postcard and penholder takes into account, making it as a gift and souvenir, the Fold and Bend structure mechanism designed on a sheet metal is another challenging issue.

Instead receiving it as a postcard, one may find it interestingly foldable into a penholder later on. Collect all 5 element pieces to make it a pack of SwordLion statue penholder standing on your desktop.

Research

This project was partly initiated by Tainan City Government, giving helping to a local sheet metal factory to transform and upgrade by design into the aptness of cultural creative industry. I came out an idea of deriving local cultural elements by design, after lots of studied and researched done on the Anping old street in Tainan, SwordLion totem was chosen and transferred into a creative stationery. Moreover, in order to preserve and widespread of the unique cultural element, postcard and penholder functions were integrated, outcome as a special gift to be sold in tourist hot spot.

Inspiration

I was inspired by the Chinese Minnan cultural heritage and element of Anping Swordlion in Tainan, an old city of Taiwan. In the past, in Anping old street, each house would hang a SwordLion on the door frame or the walls became the identification of the resident, they have different facial expressions, none of them are identical. Currently, there are only 30 to 40 Sword Lions left in Anping. I wish to preserve this unique culture totem and let the world know.
