On the occasion of the International Museum Day, Chao Hongji Jewelry and Shi Bin, an artist from the "Residency Program" of the filigree research project, jointly created a new work "Filigree Grand View", which was officially exhibited at Chao Hongji's "Zhenbao Museum" in May. This work cleverly combines Zhoushan's century-old boat wood with filigree craftsmanship, allowing intangible cultural heritage to truly integrate into contemporary art and life. It uses the "Treasure Box" device to create an immersive experience space for filigree, and jointly constructs a native and new living field. It attracted many tourists to check in and experience it on site.
"Filigree Grand View", which debuted at the Zhenbao Museum, was described by Shi Bin as "a mirage on the wood that can be listened to and read". It contains his review and summary of history, thoughts on the present and imagination of the future. The work also absorbs the spiritual tradition of “hard work” symbolized by filigree inlay technology, a famous intangible cultural heritage here. What is "read" is a small scene of filigree. The artist skillfully used the leftover materials from the filigree inlay process, woven with plain silk and then inlaid it in the wood of the ship; what is "listened" is electronic music, the sound of gold and silver being struck, and the natural sounds of Zhoushan's islands. This work also makes in-depth use of modern sensors, using the ground to design a sound path with a strong sound field effect, allowing people to instantly step into an almost ASMR "soundscape", allowing the listener to create his or her own new spiritual image. .
The creation process of "Grand View of Filigree" combines the inspiration of strange animals from the Classic of Mountains and Seas with the innovative expression of filigree. It presents the eight intangible cultural heritage filigree techniques on the ship and wood in a unique carrier form, allowing visitors to experience the extraordinary from multiple angles. The new charm of lost filigree.
Intangible cultural heritage filigree inlay is a combination of two production techniques: "filigree" and "inlay". It is also the most complicated precious metal handicraft among Yanjing's eight unique techniques. It represents the pinnacle of my country's precious metal production technology and was included in the national level intangible cultural heritage. This ancient skill that has spanned thousands of years has brought high-level aesthetics that span time and space to the modern era. However, it is faced with the dilemma of being lost due to the complexity of the craftsmanship and its inability to adapt to modern aesthetics. In order to pass on this endangered traditional craft, Chaohongji established the "Filigree Handicraft Workshop" and invited old masters from the Beijing Filigree Inlay Factory to teach as apprentices. It trained nearly a hundred filigree craftsmen and laid the foundation for the innovation and inheritance of filigree.
"The reason why intangible cultural heritage became intangible cultural heritage is because it lost the market, and we need to find market demand for it again in order to realize the sustainable inheritance of intangible cultural heritage." Liao Chuangbin, founder of Chaohongji, clearly realized that only this skill Protection cannot achieve sustainable inheritance. What is more important is to use modern design to bring filigree inlay into the current aesthetic context and find its exclusive positioning under the new aesthetic trend. And the core of it all is innovation.
Chao Acer is well aware that the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage cannot just stop at reenacting it, but should give it a new aesthetic context. Starting in 2018 and continuing to this day, Chao Acer jointly launched the filigree research project "Residency" with the Innovation Charity Organization. Plan" invites well-known art masters and design masters at home and abroad to reside in the Chao Hongji Filigree Handicraft Workshop to gain an in-depth understanding of Oriental filigree craftsmanship and cultural background, and to bring a new visual aesthetic to traditional handicrafts with an international design vision.
digital international designers seek design inspiration from traditional Chinese culture, use intangible cultural heritage filigree to present creative ideas, and constantly expand the creative boundaries of intangible cultural heritage crafts. Pioneer innovation has verified the inclusiveness of craftsmanship. Chao Acer uses its brand advantages to further translate innovative craftsmanship into jewelry design language, allowing intangible cultural heritage to link to market demand: In 2019, "Resident Program" designer and Japanese design genius Sato Dai, with non-tangible cultural heritage Relying on the innovation of traditional craftsmanship, we combine traditional filigree inlays with sweet and lovely candy shapes to interpret the "Filigree Candy" series. In 2023, Chao Acer teamed up with resident designer Ming Shuo to launch the "Filigree Clouds Rising" series, interpreting the relaxing feeling of "casually watching the clouds rise" and giving new vitality to intangible cultural heritage with innovative design. Based on market insights, Chaohongji's intangible cultural heritage filigree jewelry designs have been repeatedly recognized and have successfully commercialized intangible cultural heritage filigree.
