The history of LIULI
31 years ago in 1987, LIULIGONGFANG was founded by two celebrated figures in Taiwanese cinema, Loretta H. Yang and Chang Yi, whom took a leap of faith in their pursuit for fulfillment in the unfamiliar world of contemporary LIULI art. Exploring the Pâte de verre technique, the duo experimented and explored the world of glass, producing intricate, breath-taking art and decorative pieces along the way.

“During the Han Dynasty when the word ‘LIULI’ first appear in history, it was considered one of the seven treasures due to its rarity and exclusivity. Ever since, LIULI has been associated to the notion of clarity and purity. It has become a symbol long intertwined with the Chinese culture, LIULI has since become the preferred material for LIULIGONGFANG in creating contemporary art pieces that are embedded with a bit of heritage.
What it means to be a true designer

Both Chang Yi and Loretta believe that design should be something close to the heart. “I want to deliver a new concept. From the time I’ve spent in film production till we’ve started LIULIGONGFANG, I’ve learnt that design has to be a form of communication and I want my designs to be part of something bigger. It is just like starting your own restaurant; you are creation a lifestyle and not just a place for people to fill their bellies. To me, there always has to be an idea behind a design; something that the designer would like to change or improve lives,” Chang Yi elaborated.

“Many people asked me why did we decide to create the LIULI Crystal Fountain for Pavilion KL. Well, we feel that with this feature, we are able to help Pavilion to standout as an iconic landmark. At the same time, to us Chinese, Feng Shui is a discipline that encourages positive thinking and the fountain serves as a reminder of this positive message to all,” Chang Yi explained.
