Living Room of Daxi-Craft and Contemporary Living

Exhibition Introduction

The craft traditions of Daxi were born out of everyday necessity, responding directly to how people live. From furniture and altar tables to tableware and items crafted for children's growth, each piece made by local artisans accompanies families through their daily lives, bearing cultural memories passed down through generations while shaping a distinct folk art character unique to the town.

 

Themed "Living Room of Daxi," this exhibition presents the most vital gathering space of every household through three contemporary living scenarios and styles. It invites visitors to witness how Daxi crafts are reimagined and integrated into modern homes, inspiring new possibilities of the dynamic between craftsmanship and home life. Looking back at the history of this city of craft, we also forge new possibilities for future lifestyle.
