Design Memo

本 běn has multiple meanings; it's used to describe the essence, the roots, or the inherent nature of things. Since we basically have no choice over our home, our city, and our culture, we often take them for granted; that is, until we drift away. The history and stories embedded in these things provide the basis for our memories, reminding us of the days when we were happy and carefree, simply living life as it was. Nostalgia is always worth savoring, but watch out! The present fades just as easily. 

Here are 2 books on origin: <A Short History of Nearly Everything> by Bill Bryson, and <The Meaning of Life: A Very Short Introduction> by Terry Eagleton.

Behind the「Calligraphy Series」

As one of the oldest writing systems, Chinese characters have a long history. In English, letters make up words to convey information; in Chinese though, each character has its own meaning. To capture the beauty and culture behind them, we made this series. If you are a native speaker, we hope this reminds you of home. If you don't speak the language, we hope you find peace and joy by looking at the beautiful writing. 

The calligraphy is by Mr. Ji Guo Cai (纪国才).

Reminder: Clear cases will turn yellow; this happens because UV light breaks down plastic. The rate depends on the intensity of exposure, but usually it doesn't affect use (~1yr).
