LIMA Living Workshop Introduction
Lima Living Workshop has transformed from an old ceramic factory, integrating industry, leisure, dining, and indigenous and Hakka cultures, making it quite unique. The workshop offers a series of lifestyle ceramics featuring the totems and patterns of various indigenous peoples, which are popular and well-received. The workshop's owner, Nan Hsien-Tian, is from the Paiwan tribe in Taitung. In the past, he ran a ceramic factory in Daxi Village, Zaoqiao Township, mainly producing decorative ceramics for export. Over a decade ago, as the export ceramic industry gradually declined, Nan Hsien-Tian "returned to the starting point" to rethink his approach and began designing a series of ceramics with indigenous totem styles seven years ago, creating a distinctive identity. "Lima," derived from the indigenous language, means "five," and the five fingers of an open hand represent the number five, symbolizing the vitality of indigenous peoples who traditionally craft items with their own hands. The husband and wife team incorporates the characteristics of their Hakka and indigenous cultures into the creativity of ceramics and dining, showcasing a unique style that belongs to Lima.
