Product Description
Inspired by the pottery terracotta lamp of the Eastern Han Dynasty unearthed in Dongshan, Guangzhou in 1956, the work is a character IP that combines historical and contemporary temperament. He comes from the western regions. He was originally a small figurine silently holding the lamp in the palace. Now he works in the "Lying Flat Lighting Bureau" and has become a grass-roots lighting worker. On the surface, he dutifully illuminates the way forward for his master, but in fact, as long as there is a gap, he falls into the daily routine of daze, fishing and self-emptying. He is not a king, but he once shined for him-now, he also illuminates the inner world of modern workers.
This product is designed with the image of an ancient worker, and the action with a full sense of stealing resonates with modern workers. The product takes the form of the most popular blind box at present, with 6 ordinary models plus 1 hidden model configuration. The products and packaging are made in kind and exhibited at the 2025 graduation exhibition of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts.
