Be Genius
Be Genius is a series of decorative accessories inspired by Pixiu, a mythical Chinese creature associated with wealth and prosperity. The series includes magnetic pieces that can be placed on refrigerator surfaces and compact keychains, so each item works as both an ornament and a daily accessory. The pieces are made by cutting graphic shapes from copper and adding digitally printed colored patterns. Sizes range from 30 by 24 by 2 millimeters to 50 by 60 by 2 millimeters.
