When master cloisonné designer Shen Wenguang set out to find a color that embodies Beijing’s spirit, he wasn’t just mixing pigments—he was chasing a feeling. Teaming up with a veteran craftsman, the duo dove into the city’s heartbeat: its royal blue-tiled rooftops, vast skies, and centuries of history whispering through hutongs.
🏙️ Why Blue?
The chosen shade? A calm, solemn grandeur that mirrors Beijing’s duality—where ancient palaces stand alongside glass skyscrapers. Shen describes it as 'the color of resilience meeting serenity,' inspired by crackling porcelain glazes and twilight over the Great Wall.
🔮 More Than a Color
This blue isn’t just for art—it’s a cultural time capsule. Imagine wearing a scarf dyed with Beijing’s soul or sipping tea from a cup that captures its skyline. For the city’s youth, it’s become a trending symbol of local pride, popping up in streetwear and TikTok aesthetics. 🇨🇳💙
