Ms. Hsiao and Jean-Marc Daniëls, a designer with whom she founded her company, partnered with the lantern makers to produce objects with modern silhouettes and colors, including a table lamp with a walnut-and-porcelain base and a pendant with a marbled shade. Their mission? To sustain the factory and bring renewed appreciation to traditional Taiwanese artisanship. “True craftsmanship emerges when maker, material and purpose are in dialogue,” Ms. Hsiao said.
