Yao Cabinet is inspired by Chinese medicine cabinet--which consists of many drawers taking up walls of space in Chinese Medicine clinics, requiring trained pharmacists to constantly practice and remember which herb each drawer holds. The traditional medicine cabinet is the product of this hard-working spirit, which is also the essence of many Chinese parents' teaching--for which Yao Cabinet is a metaphor. From top to bottom, every drawer of Yao holds objects I need for my daily routine. Yao Cabinet not only serves the function of housing the daily objects, but also pays homage to my upbringing.
