Through its impact on customs and aesthetics, this material has deeply influenced the way we live. Could porcelain, as a traditional Chinese material, build a bridge between the past and the future? Ci is an interactive tile system in which Chinese porcelain is used to create visual, tactile, and sculptural solutions for interiors. It contains various modules that emphasize the functional, aesthetic and interactive aspects of porcelain. It brings out five thousand years of Chinese history by connecting porcelain traditions with interactive displays.
