My name is Meichen Zhou, and my work explores the overlooked potential of everyday materials through a lens of cultural reflection and sustainable design. I’m particularly interested in how natural, low-tech resources, like loofah, can be reimagined beyond their conventional uses. My design practice is shaped by both Eastern and Western perspectives, drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese aesthetics and modular, contemporary forms. Through my work, I aim to create objects that serve a function and invite curiosity, interaction, and a deeper awareness of material life cycles.
