Guangzhou Panyu Polytechnic

I am a design student with a strong passion for leather and textile design. I have always been fascinated by the unique texture, natural grain and warm touch of real leather. Compared with artificial materials, genuine leather carries a special sense of quality and time, which makes me eager to explore more possibilities of this material in modern design. In my daily study, I focus on combining leather with knitting techniques. I believe that the tough texture of leather and the softness of knitting can complement each other perfectly. Through repeated attempts, I try to break the stereotype of leather being only hard and cold, and use knitting structures to make leather more lightweight and comfortable. Taking part in this real‑leather knitting competition is a valuable opportunity for me. I hope to express my understanding of genuine leather design, learn from other participants, and improve my practical ability. I am eager to show my design ideas on this professional platform, and explore more innovative ways to use real leather together with designers who share the same interest. 我是一名热爱皮革与面料设计的学生。我一直很着迷于真皮独特的纹理、天然质感与温润触感。相比人造材料,真皮自带质感与时光感,让我不断想要挖掘它在现代设计中的更多可能。 日常学习中,我专注于将皮革与针织工艺结合。我认为皮革的硬朗与针织的柔软可以形成很好的互补。通过不断尝试,我希望打破皮革厚重冰冷的固有印象,用针织结构让真皮更轻盈、更舒适。 参加本次真皮针织比赛对我来说是一次宝贵的机会。我希望借此表达自己对真皮设计的理解,向其他参赛者学习、提升实操能力。也期待在这个专业平台上展示设计想法,和同好一起探索真皮更多创新设计方向。

This jewelry series takes vegetable‑tanned genuine leather as the core material, focusing on the plasticity and natural texture of real leather, and creates three‑dimensional floral shapes through hand‑shaping and dyeing. I cut natural vegetable‑tanned leather into thin and tough petals, and stack them in layers to shape flower layers, matched with pearls, crystals and silver accessories to form a visual contrast of hardness and softness. I aim to break people’s stereotype of hard leather and explore the soft plasticity of vegetable‑tanned leather, combining tough genuine leather with gentle floral forms. The blue leather flowers symbolize natural vitality, and pearl accessories echo elegance. The design balances hand‑made warmth and modern aesthetics. By participating in this competition, I explore innovative applications of real leather in accessories, convey the unique value of hand‑made creation with natural materials, and show the infinite possibilities of combining vegetable‑tanned leather with floral aesthetics. 本系列首饰以植鞣革为核心创作材料,聚焦真皮的可塑性与自然肌理,通过纯手工塑形、染色工艺打造立体花卉造型。我将天然植鞣革裁切为薄韧花瓣,经多层叠加塑造花朵层次,搭配珍珠、水晶与银质配件点缀,形成刚柔对比的视觉美感。 我希望打破大众对皮革坚硬厚重的固有认知,挖掘植鞣革柔软可塑的特质,让硬朗真皮与柔美花卉形态融合。蓝色调的皮革花朵象征自然生命力,珍珠配饰呼应优雅气质,整体设计兼具手工温度与现代审美。 本次参赛旨在探索真皮材料在配饰设计中的创新表达,以天然材质传递手工创作的独特价值,展现植鞣革与花卉美学结合的无限可能。
