Essence:
In Chinese culture, the harmonious coexistence of nature and humans has always been the highest pursuit of philosophy and art. BENSIO (Benshao)'s ceramic craftsmanship is deeply influenced by the Daoist concept of "unity of heaven and humanity," emphasizing adherence to nature during the creation process and minimizing environmental impact. Utilizing natural materials, such as Dehua's high-quality kaolin, and combining traditional craftsmanship with modern eco-friendly principles, BENSIO creates ceramics that are both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. Each piece seems to be a part of nature, striving to blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment in both form and glaze, conveying the peaceful and serene beauty of nature.
The character "本" (ben) here not only represents the original essence of ceramics but also symbolizes the core beliefs of the team (or enterprise). In traditional culture, "sincerity" is considered the foundation of one's character, and "trust" is the cornerstone of business. BENSIO (Benshao )adheres to the principle of "craftsmanship with sincerity," infusing every step with the artisans' dedication and passion. From design to finished product, every detail reflects the utmost pursuit of perfection. This attitude stems from the Chinese cultural reverence for "sincerity and true intentions," believing that only by maintaining sincerity and purity in one's heart can one create works that touch people and earn the trust and respect of customers.
China is one of the birthplaces of ceramics, with a history of thousands of years in ceramic firing. BENSIO (Benshao) regards the inheritance of this precious cultural heritage as its mission, focusing not only on the technical aspects but also on the continuation of culture and spirit. Drawing inspiration from the celadon of the Song Dynasty to the colorful porcelains of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, from the smoothness of Dehua white porcelain to the elegance of Jingdezhen ceramics, BENSIO (Benshao) combines these with modern aesthetics to create works that have both classical charm and contemporary relevance. By regularly hosting ceramic culture lectures, workshops, and participating in international ceramic art festivals, BENSIO (Benshao) is committed to building a bridge for cultural exchange, allowing the world to better appreciate the charm of Chinese ceramics while also encouraging innovation, giving new life to this ancient art in the modern era.
