The brand-new collection offers a brand-new measurement to the business’s production, using a fragile take on its product focus. Originally from Taiwan and now based in Paris, Yun Li is a Salone Satellite alumnus with experience dealing with Big-Game and Pauline Deltour. His diploma task as a trainee at Paris’ ENSCI-Les Ateliers was monitored by Jasper Morrison, a designer he mentions as one of the primary motivations in his work, and the drive behind the Emeco Birds task.

‘To thank Jasper Morrison for monitoring my diploma task, I talented him among the models of the birds I had actually made. I didn’t anticipate him to value my present a lot that he revealed it to Emeco’s owner Gregg Buchbinder,’ says Li. ‘Thanks to Jasper and Gregg’s assistance, my little side task has actually developed into a real item, and these aluminium birds have actually now discovered their ideal home as a part of the Emeco family.’
