For those who knows Xian-Jun, you'll probably know that his surname is "Chin". It was a feeling of deja-vu when we passed by Xtra Living at Vivo City earlier this week and saw the Mr & Mrs Chin Salt & Pepper Set and Timer. The design is certainly cute and since we are shopping for our new house now, we were especially tempted to get it!! But we could not believe our eyes when we saw the price!!
Based on my online research, "The Chin Family" designed by Stefano Giovannoni with Rumiko Takeda is the result of the collaboration between Alessi and the National Palace Museum of Taiwan, with the underlying intention to open itself to the international scene, and to encourage greater awareness of Chinese history and culture in the West. Very cool huh.....you could never guess the grand intention from that small salt & pepper set.
Oh well, nice to see, but perhaps not so practical to have at the moment in time.....hahaha.......
