Upcycled Echo
The project addresses environmental and creative challenges in Jingdezhen's ceramic industry, where nearly 10 percent of decals are discarded each year and may contain heavy metals. It transforms this waste into functional and artistic ceramic HiFi speakers. Discarded motifs are cut and recombined through artistic collage to create unique handcrafted surfaces while meeting modern acoustic standards. The design offers a sustainable solution to industrial waste and unites ceramic tradition with contemporary technology.
