Inspired by the ancient Taoist idea that humanity and nature are one, ChicxUlab creates handicrafts using forms inspired by natural materials such as meteorites, tektites, metals, wood, and clay. These materials represent the five movements that construct our universe according to the traditional Chinese Five-Elements philosophy. As a result, the objects are not merely themselves but the fruits of introspection through the practice of object-making.

Meteorites, tektites, metals, wood, clay as the five main materials are selected by Chicxulab, which are representative of the five elements/movements that construct our universe in terms of the traditional Chinese Five-Elements philosophy. Our designs and the way of production are aiming to convey the message of an ancient idea from the far East that human beings and the nature are the one.
