Today, it seems that warm lacquer products can be replaced by cold industrial products produced repeatedly. In this situation, Duan Yifan abandoned the pursuit of practical and aesthetic value of lacquer, while maintaining his sensitivity to the material itself. He uses lacquer to wrap everyday objects such as crushed stone, mirrors and folding chairs. The transparent and clear feeling presented by lacquer gives eternal life to everyday objects.
