Between 2012 – 2014, five Swedish designers were invited to Taiwan to work with lacquer, a craft with a long history in East Asia.. This book is a travelogue: a collection of memories of meetings, places and situations that provide the backdrop for the project. It also gives a historical and practical background to a material that in many ways can be hard to decipher.
