Only personality, do not care about pop (Figure)

Seen by jewellery designer Ni Xianou is in the ground floor of the Hangzhou Tower. Under the circumstance of lively jewellery exhibitions, her showcase is very inconspicuous, and she is submerged in a pile of plush toys. The eye-catching scent of commercial eye-stains, metallic styling, expressive styling, and the sheer sense of leaving handmade traces on the pearls.

This sentiment reminded me of the once-in-a-lifetime horological megaphone MM solemnly speaking of the products most sought after by collectors. If there is still time, hurry to see a glance at the jewelry museum next door. Those products are so beautiful that it is impossible to see in China...”

The works of Ni Xianou

It is conceivable that in the country surrounded by commercial mass products for a long time, the sense of beauty suddenly felt shocked when it was suddenly released. However, unlike the noble elegance of the atmosphere, Ni Xianou, who studied in the UK, took another path - extremely deconstructive personality. Just as I faced her work, what emerged as the architect Frank Gehry's building in the head was always called by me as the order in chaos.

"My inspiration is very much from Frank Gehry, and I gradually found my own style in my studies. I don't like things that are too rigid, I feel very irrational, and I am convinced by the appearance of the rules. It is also my pursuit.” Ni Xianou’s favorite material is metal. Its texture, strong sense of style and tough lines have become her most comfortable part.

After returning home as a teacher at the China Academy of Fine Arts last year, Ni Xianou had a small studio in Binjiang. “The British creative design industry is very developed, and many first-hand materials can be found, such as metal pieces, but after returning home, they found that they had to be completely independent from the source.” Ni Xianou's ring on the day of his hand is a completely manual work, “this ring The birth of me started with the purchase of silver, to melt silver, pressure

Film, cutting, shaping, and finally soldering and polishing are almost a complete process. It was done by oneself and it took half a day. ”

This may explain why a small ring must cost at least a thousand dollars, generally at a few thousand dollars, and the necklace displayed on the site of the Hangzhou Mansion must cost more than 10,000 yuan. This necklace is not conceived and designed. It is only handmade. It took Ni Xianou several days.

“I like to work on several pieces at the same time, and adjust myself in the process of doing it. For example, if one can't do it anymore, if you need to think again, let it go for a while, do something else first, and then think about it and try again.” As a designer, Ni Xianou said that he has turned from the initial direction of industrial design to the path of art today. “I just don't want to be bound too much by my interests.”

When I was in Britain, my daily life was very simple. I went from my studio to my home, took a look at various art exhibitions, enjoyed operas, and looked at fashion. After returning home, Ni Xianou also maintained this lifestyle of fully absorbing nutrients: “Look at the exhibition movie reading , such as painting exhibitions, installation art exhibitions, fashion magazines, professional magazines, and dramas are also quite like it. Then there is tourism, admiring the scenery of buildings and various lands."

Instead of creating ideas, in fact, Ni Xianou talked about more experiences because the accumulation of life determines the height of creativity. “I often told students not to only look at professional jewelry design books, because thinking is limited, but to allow myself to fully accept information in many fields, such as painting, architecture, fashion, etc.”

In Ni Xianou's opinion, the greatest happiness of independent jewelry designers is to have personality: "I don't have to talk about pop, there are only styles." (Cao Tingting)
