ABOUT US

Project Imago 成蟲计划 is a jewelry and wearable sculpture project started in 2021. The founding members, each with interdisciplinary backgrounds, are dedicated to merging the intricate forms generated through digital modeling with handcrafting processes, creating works that transcend conventional notions of time. The founding team includes four practitioners from Harvard GSD (computational design), RISD (jewelry, painting, and film), and MIT (architecture), reflecting the project's strong foundation in both conceptual depth and material experimentation

Project Imago draws inspiration from the ancient Chinese image of “虫” (chóng), which not only refers to insects but also encompasses a diverse range of mythical and extraordinary life forms. Metamorphosis is a core concept that the brand explores—life as a fluid and ever-changing state filled with infinite possibilities, creating jewelry forms fused with intriguing cultures and parametric designs.

In 2023, Project Imago was awarded the Young Talents prize at OntimeShow—the largest showroom event in Shanghai—as the only jewelry brand recognized in the SS24 season. Our work has also been featured in various media outlets including Harper’s Bazaar.
