Conveying the Beauty and Stories of China Through T-Shirts

Chinese culture is rooted in a long history and rich traditions. Integrating the beauty and stories of Shanghai into modern designs, while it presents a significant challenge, is our way to express our passion. We tell our stories with ancient patterns and traditional symbols on T-shirts, which serve as a contemporary canvas.

Motifs of dragons and phoenixes symbolize strength and prosperity, conveying the depth of Chinese culture to viewers. In addition to themes like these, our designs feature natural beauty, such as clouds, waves, and bamboo groves. The harmony and permanence of history and nature reflect our values. These designs are not merely decorative; they carry ancient stories, passed down from generation to generation.

We have adapted traditional designs to suit modern lifestyles, making it possible for individuals to feel a meaningful connection to Chinese culture daily. This connection is a way of expressing your unique personal identity. Despite their simplicity, the designs of our T-shirts are imbued with profound meanings, making you feel that the beauty and history on the canvas is within reach.

Our wearable art is a way for us to share ideas and foster empathy between people from different cultures. The power of our designs uses the charm of our history and culture to transcend verbal communication, building a bridge between our culture and the world.

The Motifs We Choose: From Tradition to Modernity

• No.371Ink-painted Dragon

The charm of Chinese culture, which our designers express, is rooted in its rich traditions and timeless beauty. Iconic motifs such as dragons, phoenixes, floral patterns, and architectural styles that have been passed down since ancient times remain important elements in art and design today. These motifs symbolize history and cultural values and hold cultural significance for the Chinese people.

Rather than restricting ourselves to simple reproduction of these motifs, we add new interpretations using modern techniques. For instance, dragons and phoenixes are often expressed in simple and abstract forms without intricate decorations.

By accentuating the beauty of the dragon's curves through simple lines and contemporary colors, we create a modern and sophisticated impression. Our floral patterns incorporate gradients and geometric patterns, using digital technology to produce fresh artwork. Through these techniques, we leverage traditional motifs while expanding the possibilities of new designs from a contemporary perspective.

• No.371Ink-painted Dragon

Our choice of motifs also reflects our individuality and themes. It is our mission to convey Chinese culture in new forms through our works. Our art often resonates with viewers while also surprising them. Respecting tradition without sacrificing modern ways to achieve our unique expressions is at the core of our design philosophy.

Logo Design Philosophy Spreading to the World

Our brand logo cleverly integrates the imagery of Chinese characters "road" and "person", and contains profound cultural connotations. "Road" symbolizes the journey and direction of design communication, while "person" is inspired by the image of a lady riding a tricycle in Shanghai in the 1990s, representing designers who put their creativity into practice. This logo not only conveys the mission of serving as a cultural bridge, but also carries the vision of spreading from Tianzifang, Shanghai, to the world.

• No.00Lu Shanghai

This is not only a symbol, but also a journey that connects people and culture. By "creating fun" and "telling stories in design", we hope to share the charm of Chinese culture and build an emotional bridge with the world. No matter where you are, our works will become a bond of cultural communication, bringing warmth and enlightenment to all.
