Product Details

Product Description

To celebrate the Year of the Dragon in Chinese astrology in 2024, Christofle and renowned Chinese sculptor Zheng Lu have collaborated to present a masterpiece of Haute Orfèvrerie. This partnership embodies a harmonious blend of traditional respect and visionary innovation, as well as a pursuit of perfection. The Dragon, a powerful astrological sign symbolizing ambition, success, and power, represents qualities of hard work, intelligence, and determination. It embodies the noble and potent characteristics of silver. Zheng Lu, drawing inspiration from water and its significance in Chinese culture throughout his artistic journey, contemplates the profound wisdom of Lao-tzu's renowned quote: "Water benefits all things and does not compete". He explores how water has influenced our perception of nature and humanity within the Eastern cultural context. In collaboration with Christofle, Zheng Lu has crafted a one-of-a-kind artwork that captures the mesmerizing essence of water, creatively molded in the form of a dragon named "Flowing": the swirling circular motion of water. Drawing from the concept of the Möbius strip's intriguing shape (the famed infinity loop in mathematics), it symbolizes the core aspects of energy, time, and the perpetual cycle of water engaging in an eternal rhythm. Xingyun, The Flowing Dragon, stands gracefully on a base of grey obsidian, a volcanic stone renowned for its myriad virtues. This limited edition masterpiece, comprising only 30 pieces, embodies a captivating fusion of tradition, innovation, and artistry.
