Blocks Lamps
2025
Debuted at Stockholm Furniture Fair
Blocks Lamps explores cubes and boxes as symbols of movement, transition, and time. Inspired by urban architecture, the sculptural table lamps resemble a modular cityscape, drawing from libraries, towers, and townhouses. Wood grain-imprinted shades transfer organic textures, capturing time’s passage. The interplay of light, shadow, and materiality blurs the line between lighting and architecture, reflecting how objects shift, accumulate, and shape the perception of space and memory.
The Blocks are featured in Corriere Living, Sight Unseen, and has been awarded A’ Design Awards in 2025.
Peace in Motion
2025
at Queens Botanical Garden for Taiwan: the World of Orchids
Peace in Motion captures a quiet moment suspended between action and stillness. Two badminton rackets face each other midair, holding an arc of birdies, each hand-crafted and reshaped into orchid forms. What might have been a fast-paced game is stilled and transformed into a delicate choreography, a floating bouquet in midair.
The birdie, a symbol of movement and competition, is softened through floral reinterpretation. This pairing honors both Taiwan’s recent achievements in global sports and its long-standing cultural identity. The work invites viewers to reflect on peace not as the absence of tension, but as something held in balance. It is felt in the anticipation, the gesture, and the pause between motions.
Peace in Motion is a tribute to Taiwan’s resilience. Here, play becomes poetry and dialogue unfolds in silence.
Created by Rio Jiunyu Chen, a Taiwanese designer based in Brooklyn, Peace in Motion draws from personal memories of childhood family gatherings where badminton, laughter, and togetherness filled the air.
Beauty Within

Beauty Within is a poetic exploration of function and form. A red fast-food basket, reimagined as a flower head, cradles a polished mirror at its center, inviting moments of self-reflection. Beauty Within celebrates the unexpected harmony between mundane objects and profound ideas, turning a simple act of utility into a playful experience.

The Movement of Diplomacy
2022
for the workshop ‘What is the Shape of Innovation?’
by Altimeter Group with The Innovation Cell within
the United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA)
‘The Movement of Diplomacy’ is made for the workshop by Altimeter Studio at the United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA), titled ‘What is the Shape of Innovation?’
Two sides of a story; two sides of the world
One society; one world.
Events and activities in local and regional communities often end up affecting the larger environment. The movement of thoughts and strategies is a linear structure tying us together; nations and nations; entities and entities.
We share the same responsibility to take care of challenges happening in every corner of the world, not because we live on the same planet, but because we are one.
The objects in between the two ends represent communication, challenges, decisions, and responsibilities moving from one end to the other.

Stadium Series
2022
From Ancient Rome to Super Bowl, stadiums have always been the place where the public gathers together under one shared goal: unity. By bringing the essence of architecture to objects with angle-cut edges and round exteriors, this stadium inside homes emphasizes that two scales overlap and integrate the definition of functionality.
Stadium Series is inspired by Rio’s theme park project "The Last Tomorrowland (2021)" and has a unique geometric form that holds items. The precise dimensions reflect the architectural style of Rio’s design.
