Design Inspiration
Chilbo, which means “seven gemstones,” is a sophisticated crafting technique, capable of producing a variety of brilliant colors that cannot be replicated with any other technique. The Chilbo technique involves coating a metal surface with a uniquely colored glaze or enamel, then baking it in a kiln.
2019 ShineClassics Collection features a Rock and Peony paintings (“Seokmorando”), which refers to Peony paintings produced for the royal court that feature oddly shaped rocks. When combined, Peony - a symbol of wealth – and oddly shaped rocks - a symbol of longevity - mean “desire for long-lasting wealth and honor.”
