Ming’s heart
East and West. The Ming’s Heart project goes straight to the core of two worlds, two visions, two philosophies of life and living. Shi-Chieh Lu draws on their common roots and translates them into a completely new object with a multitude of meanings. The purity of its lines, the perfect expression of Chinese and Oriental spirituality, reverberates in the geometric and cubic formality of the Western vision.
