Porcelain Polo For Lacoste by Li Xiaofeng

LACOSTE challenged Chinese artist Li Xiaofeng to create two different polos for the 2010 Holiday Collector’s Series. For both, he had to adapt his work methods slightly. For the limited edition printed polo, he chose blue and white shards with lotus and children designs from the Kangxi Period (1662 – 1772 AD) of the Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1911 AD). The lotus grows from mud underwater to emerge as a flower, symbolising purity and rebirth. Images of babies represent fertility, as during that period the high infant mortality rate meant that people decorated ceramics with babies hoping they would be blessed with children. This particular type of folk ceramics reflected the Imperial taste at that time and was only used by the upper classes, as techinically the painted blue background on a white base that delineated the figures was more complex to produce. Xiaofeng shaped and polished the shards as usual, but instead of drilling holes and linking them with wire he photographed each (251 for the men’s polo and 304 for the women’s) and placed them one by one in a life-size digital pattern of the polo’s front, back and sleeves. He chose a dark blue ribbing for the collar and sleeves on the men’s polo and a light blue for women. The final touch was the addition of a white LACOSTE crocodile logo, the rarest breed in the brand’s collection. The printed Porcelain Polo is limited to 20,000 pieces for both men and women and comes packaged in a silk pouch stamped with the red seal LI XIAOFENG LACOSTE logo above.

Restless Bats by Troika

The Restless Bats are a collection of 5 ping pong bat sets designed in reference to Ron’s seminal design works. Inspired by his early 80’s ready made, the ROVER BATS explore the ping pong potential of original Rover P6 V8 3500 car parts, using opposing ashtrays, a seat lever, a gearstick and seat side panels. Referring to Ron’s distinctive use of light and Corian, the PING PONG bats have integrated Leds which spell out PING and PONG in mid-air (yes, it is direction sensitive: PING one way, PONG the other). We also pressed and shaped books into paddles, choosing Nabokov’s LOLITA (one of Ron’s favourites after which he named his eponymous chandelier) and Dostoevsky’s THE IDIOT for which he created a limited edition for Penguin Books. Completing his huge bookshelf which depicts the map of the USA, we created the lost states of Hawaii and Alaska as a set of paddles rendered in rusted steel and mirror stainless. And finally, in an homage to our favourite piece, Arad’s concrete stereo, we casted our final set in cement, and created the CONCRETE BATS.

Thanks Anonymous for the share!
