Editorial Summary
We’re honored to be featured by Design Magazine (《设计》), one of China’s leading publications covering design, creativity, and innovation, where founder Haoying Zhang discusses the philosophy behind G Home and the role ancient natural materials can play in contemporary design.
The interview explores how gourds—one of humanity’s earliest cultivated plants—continue to inspire modern home objects through their cultural history, natural beauty, and sustainable qualities. It also highlights G Home’s approach to balancing craftsmanship, functionality, and thoughtful storytelling, while exploring topics such as biophilic design, material innovation, and the relationship between local culture and global design.
Rather than looking to the past out of nostalgia, G Home views traditional materials as living resources that can continue evolving alongside contemporary lifestyles. The conversation reflects our belief that meaningful design not only serves practical needs, but also strengthens our connection with nature, culture, and everyday rituals.
