Interview with London Accessory Week exhibitor Pon Studio | London Accessory Week by X Terrace
Pon Studio is dedicated to delivering humour and fun to life through the realization of a visual design into real everyday life.
Tell us a little about you and your brand. Who are you, and what products do you design for your brand?
Pon Studio was founded in London in 2021 by two Chinese designers and artists who graduated from the Royal College of Art. "Pon" represents the furry creature, also a metaphor for curiosity, passion and joy. Pon Studio is dedicated to delivering humour and fun to life through the realization of a visual design into real everyday life. What are your sources of inspiration? We study different majors in uni, product design and illustration. We aim to blur the boundaries between artistic creation and product design, and to apply our aesthetic concepts to our products. Our brand is strongly influenced by Asian culture and our home country China. Our Kingyosukui Candle is inspired by the traditional Japanese Summer festival game "Kingyosukui" - scooping goldfish in the pond. We also have a special candle design made for the year of the Tiger called "Lucky Tiger”.
Why do you do what you do? What do you like about your job?
We always have a big sheet of creative ideas waiting to be pushed forward. We enjoy the process of turning our colourful ideas into a physical product, and our product will sit in our guest's daily life. Getting immediate feedback from our clients is a driving force for us to continue to create and design.
Who is the target audience for your products?
We hope that our products can attract people who enjoy life, enjoy decorating their living space through home decorations, create enthusiasm for life and have a sense of ritual.

We would love to hear about your studio/making time and how you connect with your clients.
We love to materialize our ideas. We design and create each of our candle moulds. We design them from scratch, 3d modelling and 3d printing them. Each candle is inverted and moulded in our West London studio. We shoot a lot of Studio vlogs and package vlogs so that customers can have a deeper understanding of our brand, and studio. And we do pop up events in various art fairs in London from time to time.
How do you feel about showcasing your design at London Accessory Week?
We are very excited to participate in London Accessory Week, which is a great opportunity to meet more like-minded people. Offline interaction with everyone is more direct. Our new product takes advantage of this opportunity to meet the public offline for the first time. We will design and produce more products in the future. There will also be many offline pop-up activities with different themes to create our own artist alliance. We want to provide a platform for more artists to export their product brand culture. ponstudio.co.uk
