​

Inspiration:

Calla Lily (Zantedeschia Aethiopica)
CallaLily signifies magnificence and beauty, its form shows elegance and continuity, which are basis of my design. Inspired from the gentle curvatures and simple structure, giving Calla a simple unify form. Though having soft appearance, they are strong sturdy plants that can survive harsh conditions. Hence, Calla has a sturdy hold—not too thin and light, reflecting its strong nature.

​

Functions:
CallaLily are usually used in wedding and funerals. Similarly, Calla can be used in both kind of occasions. It gives a practical use in addition to CallaLily’s significance and decorative purposes. It can be used in wedding as ring holders or in solemn ceremonies as candle/tea-light holders. Calla’s simple design gives it a multi-purpose usage.

​

Originality or Uniqueness:
Duality. Continuous flow of concavity and convexity—symbolizes eternity/continuity and the trials in life (up and down). Concave surfaces at both side can serve a utilitarian purpose/being a multi-purpose container and also fits nicely for the palm or fingers to hold it securely.
