Paris-based designer Yun Li has created a trio of birds for Emeco, made of recycled aluminium, bringing together industrial design heritage and a passion for nature
The new collection gives a new dimension to the company's production, offering a delicate take on its material focus. Originally from Taiwan and now based in Paris, Yun Li is a Salone Satellite alumnus with experience working with Big-Game and
. His diploma project as a student at Paris' ENSCI-Les Ateliers was supervised by Jasper Morrison, a designer he cites as one of the main inspirations in his work, and the drive behind the Emeco Birds project. 'To thank Jasper Morrison for supervising my diploma project, I gifted him one of the prototypes of the birds I had made. I didn't expect him to appreciate my gift so much that he showed it to Emeco's owner Gregg Buchbinder,' says Li. 'Thanks to Jasper and Gregg's support, my little side project has evolved into an actual product, and these aluminium birds have now found their perfect home as a part of the Emeco family.
The three birds are as minimal in their forms as they are expressive and accurate: each silhouette is a faithful reproduction of an actual bird’s profile, and the objects are designed to gently rock when placed on a surface . Li looked at industrial design as well as nature for his collection: 'Inspired by Enzo Mari’s Nature Series , I tried to design a project to express the formal quality of birds with minimal elements through a precise and cost-effective process,' he explains. 'Each element of the Birds family – sparrow, blackbird, pigeon – is crafted from laser-cut aluminum sheets. The result is a sleek and elegant object that captures the essence of the bird's form.
