Hidden Dragon
These designs were drawn and cut by hand, then digitized to be reproduced using traditional Chinese red paper, maintaining its authentic texture and unmistakable color. Part of the charm of this material lies in its small imperfections, variegated color, and the way it fades over the year.
A bespoke small-batch laser-cutting process was developed to preserve the integrity of the delicate material. The paper is reinforced with a recycled card backing made from 80% post-consumer waste for improved durability.
The Chinese character for Dragon ‘龍’ originated as a pictogram of the enigmatic mythical creature. Several historical writing systems, whether written on bones, copperware, or scrolls, all depict the character in sinuous forms with stylized interpretations of scales, claws, or tails. This playful flying dragon is both obscuring and mimicking the form of its character.
