Though I've worked over the last ten years on Design Series alone in my studio, it never felt like a solo journey. Many people touched my heart and inspiring me and helping me along the way. This collection sits in a shelf with eleven compartments. Ten spaces are for past Design Series and the eleventh is for my friend, Akio Nukaga who I've known since I started my career here at Heath. The wooden box is built in collaboration with Eddie Aya, an up-and-coming woodworker in the Bay Area. —Tung Chiang, Clay Studio Director
