Chinese Arts and Crafts Society - Traditional Handicrafts Redesign Laboratory
The SFD has partnered with the Chinese Arts and Crafts Society to co-establish a laboratory for the redesign of traditional handicrafts. The laboratory leverages the concept of "redesign" to foster innovation in traditional crafts, guiding heritage through innovation and serving national strategies. The lab focuses on "A Thousand Years in a Leaf," a Song Dynasty tea-tasting aesthetics exhibition version 2.0, integrating data visualization to enhance research into future Oriental aesthetics and digital applications. It also incorporates local intangible cultural heritage elements within its interior spaces, creating a unique exhibition design that blends digital art with traditional craftsmanship.
The Chinese Arts and Crafts Society is a national, academic, nonprofit, and public welfare social organization voluntarily formed by craft and art workers nationwide and legally registered. It operates under the Chinese Association for Science and Technology and is one of the earliest professional academic organizations established in the field of arts and crafts. Throughout its 40-year history, closely linked with the journey of reform and opening up, the society has committed to innovation while adhering to its original principles, uniting elite forces in artistic creation and design research within the national crafts sector, and dedicating itself to academic research, public education, innovative applications, think tank development, and talent cultivation in the arts and crafts industry.
