Hailing from Chiogqing, China, Studio/ JIALUN XIONG, a multidisciplinary design studio based in Los Angeles, explores ideas of duality and creative restraint in designs for spaces, furnishings, lighting, and objects. Graphic, high-drama, and rigorously intentional, Xiong’s design objects push the boundaries of their construction, balancing positive and negative space as a means of heightening the experience of their users. Hovering between weightlessness and weighty.

Default - An exhibition inspired by the baseline setting of a 3D model program. Showcasing new and refinished pieces from Xiong’s furniture and tabletop collections, Default strips away color and embellishment to emphasize sculpture, form, and materiality. This exhibition invites visitors to fill in the gaps, draw their own conclusions, and imagine these pieces in their own environments.

Before the Eclipse - An immersive solo exhibition introducing two new celestial-inspired light fixtures along with her architectural furnishings, table lamps, and ceramic tableware sets. Designed to emulate the dark vastness of space, Xiong’s exhibition explores the natural curiosity and unexplainable calm of our galaxy with planet-like light fixtures that appear to float in mid-air. Washed in Xiong’s signature black-and-white gradient hues, Before the Eclipse also invites a meditative experience that emphasizes texture, material, and craft–key design traits that often take a backseat to color.

Building Blocks - A set of monochromatic seating group based on the honesty of material and the purity of form. The minimal permutation of the shapes brings diversity to the design from every perspective. Each one of the components is curated with necessity that fits with others to form a whole.
