“I really wanted to make something with a crank, and something kind of resembling a kite. This goose is made from mulberry paper, which is surprisingly strong. He flies over a silk organza cloud. His wings flap when you crank him.” —@echothegecko

This delightful piece is one of 9 distinct prototypes on display at Echo’s Open Studio this weekend:

“Anything Can Be A Lamp”
Saturday 8/15 from 5-8pm
🌈 RSVP at the link in bio

Open Studio attendees will have the chance to see Echo’s prototypes in person and VOTE for your favorites — to help Echo decide which one she will refine and produce for our 2026 Chores collection: The Girl and The Goose.

introducing: Echo Yun Chen @echothegecko — the first ever @choresworld Artisan-In-Residence

Echo Yun Chen (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist making things with her hands in Brooklyn, NY. Some themes in her work are explorative play, child-like wonder, and the nostalgic magic of the everyday. On any given day you’ll probably find her driving a car full of flowers, polishing a tomato, building some extremely specific set pieces, or learning a new skill to make a “crazy idea” come to fruition. She believes that the key to life is knowing the best people—and is proud to be a part of a team of the best collaborators/artists and human beings!

What exactly is an “Artisan-In-Residence?” And what exactly is @echothegecko making? Stay tuned to find out soon. taken in Brooklyn, New York by @echothegecko
