Tapping into a porcelain tradition that dates back to the 9th century A.D., Chinese artist Xie Dong has earned international acclaim for her captivating porcelain designs. Intrigued by all that is formless or ephemeral in nature, Xie Dong conjures forth sculptural forms, “commanding them to reveal their true identity in porcelain.”

This ethereal pendant light appears like the surface of a flowing river, hence the name "shui" which translates from Mandarin as water. Thin to the point of near translucence, the shade casts a warm glow, adding depth and dimension to the artist’s exceptional modeling.

Based in Beijing, Xie Dong is a graduate of the Beijing Art and Design Institute. Her works have been included in many important design exhibitions around the world and can be found in many international art museum collections.

Hardwired. Professional installation recommended.

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
