Zhuang Jia Collection
Ancient Australian jade, shaped through the quiet philosophy of Chinese Zen.
The Zhuang Jia Collection is a collaboration with Zhuang Qingfang (庄庆芳), a renowned contemporary jade artist from Sihui, Guangdong, China. With more than two decades devoted to jade carving, Zhuang has developed his distinctive “Zen Jade” style, guided by a simple philosophy: respect the material and follow nature.
Drawing on Chinese Zen Buddhist thought, Zhuang removes the unnecessary and allows the stone itself to lead the design. Gentle, restrained lines bring together texture, colour, form and meaning, revealing rather than overwhelming the natural character of the jade.
For this collection, Zhuang brings his artistic language to Australian nephrite jade from Cowell, South Australia. From Buddhist and Taoist influences to architecture and forms found in nature, each design transforms ancient stone into a contemporary object of contemplation and beauty.
Minimal yet expressive, traditional yet distinctly modern, the collection embodies Zhuang's belief that every piece should be able to speak to people.

Zhuang Jia · Infinity
Ancient symbol. Infinite form.
Inspired by the ancient Chinese Yu Xuan Ji (玉璇玑) and reimagined through the continuous geometry of the Möbius form, Zhuang Jia · Infinity explores the idea of movement without beginning or end.
The ancient Xuan Ji looked toward the heavens; its form evokes celestial movement, cycles and humanity's enduring desire to understand the unknown. Zhuang Jia reduces this ancient visual language into flowing contemporary geometry — removing complexity while preserving its philosophical core.
Carved from Australian jade, each piece becomes a meeting of ancient Chinese thought, modern mathematical form and an ancient Australian stone.
No beginning. No end. Infinite possibility.
Ancient Stone. Modern Spirit.
