“Mother-of-pearl inlay” is a type of traditional art inserting nacre into lacquerware, wood, or metal. Resulting from mass production and manpower outflow, this declining technique is now facing transformation into everyday decoration instead of fancy crafts. Only with this could the public value the true beauty of the delicacy of “mother-of-pearl inlay” once again.

螺鈿是一種在漆器、木器，甚至金屬上鑲嵌貝殼的傳統工藝，由於機器快速生產及人力的外流，使得這項工藝逐漸凋零沒落。若能重新思考螺鈿的運用，並重新詮釋，而使這些工藝更貼近現代生活。讓這項精美的文化資產，重新受到矚目。

Nowadays, plenty of daily commodities are often abandoned once worn out just like the worthless shell without a pearl inside. However ancient people used to decorate high-class crafts by inlaying shells into woods. With this traditional “mother-of-pearl inlay” technique could we add shine to worn-out necessities.

取出珍珠後的貝殼，便失去了價值。古代人們將貝殼鑲入木頭中，而成為高級的裝飾品。在現代，許多日常用品，損壞後便被遺棄。將傳統的螺鈿工藝手法，套用至生活物品當中，使原本不可或缺的零件，在失去功能後，能重新被看見且成為另一種樣貌。

Office supplies, baking molds, screw machine parts, or even beads for bracelets are all easily collectible in everyday life and thus can be further rearranged to design brand new decorations.

搜集現代生活中隨手可得卻易被忽略的小物件，如辦公室中的文具用品、廚房裡的甜點模型、工具箱中的螺絲零件，甚至配件吊飾等。將這些日常生活中不可或缺的用品，重新排列組合，成為新的圖樣裝飾。
