Why Lean Close

Companionship expressed through form
The paired gourd structure—one larger, one smaller—creates a physical relationship of reliance and balance.

Cultural symbolism rooted in the gourd
In Chinese culture, the gourd carries the meaning of fu and lu—blessing and prosperity. When paired together, it signifies fortune that accompanies relationship and trust.

Storage as part of daily aesthetics
Designed to hold small jewelry, personal items, or fruits, Lean Close allows storage to become visually meaningful rather than hidden.

A small object with quiet confidence
Though compact in scale, the piece carries refined proportions and gentle curves, expressing assurance without excess.

Design Detail

From Symbol to Contemporary Object

Lean Close draws from the gourd’s natural silhouette, refining its proportions into a dual structure that feels both grounded and tender.

The rounded volumes convey stability, while subtle transitions in curvature prevent the form from feeling heavy.


The box is carefully balanced so that opening, closing, and placing objects inside feels natural and composed.

This quiet precision allows both the vessel and what it holds to be appreciated together, rather than separately.

Cultural Note|The Meaning of the Gourd

In Chinese tradition, the gourd (húlu) is associated with the homophonic meanings of fu (blessing) and lu (prosperity).

It has long been used as a symbol of protection, continuity, and good fortune.


In Lean Close, two gourds lean toward one another, extending this symbolism into a contemporary interpretation of emotional reliance and mutual trust—suggesting that blessings grow when shared.

Occasions or Usage

Lean Close fits naturally into a variety of everyday and spatial settings.

It may be used as a porcelain box for jewelry or small personal items, offering a calm and secure place for objects of intimacy. It can also be placed on a dining table or in the living room to hold small fruits or sweets, adding a gentle visual rhythm to daily life.


When not in use, Lean Close stands on its own as a complete porcelain object. Resting quietly on a shelf, tabletop, or display surface, it expresses refined taste and the symbolic presence of shared blessings.

Ideal For

  • Those who appreciate objects with cultural depth and emotional symbolism
  • Collectors of small-scale porcelain works and functional art
