MOVEMENT, CAPTURED

Spanish luxury porcelain brand Lladro is going the way of Asia-inspired ornaments for its latest spring collection, which highlights facets of culture through its intricate pieces. A tai chi figurine, for instance, takes its fluid form from the meditative Chinese martial art. To capture the defensive yet poised 

fighting stance, sculptor Alfredo Llorens used at least 15 to 20 plaster moulds for each movement, before fragments are put together using liquid porcelain paste.
