Meowment in time:
A Love Letter to Cats, Art, and Afternoon Sunlight
My story with cats began long before LIN&STUDIO MEOW MEOW@LIN was even a twinkle in my eye. It began in the sun-drenched afternoons of my childhood, spent at my grandmother's house, where playful kittens were my constant companions. Those early days instilled in me a deep love for these enigmatic creatures, a love that would follow me throughout my life and eventually blossom into my brand.
As a contemporary artist, I found myself continually inspired by cats. Their graceful movements, expressive eyes, and innate sense of mystery have always captivated me. It was during this time that I welcomed Shanku, my own furry soulmate, into my life. He became my constant companion, a silent observer as I painted, a warm presence by my side as I slept, and a mischievous partner in crime, often caught red-pawed sipping milk from my teacup.
Tragically, Shanku's time with me was cut short by illness in 2021. Heartbroken, I sought solace in my art, pouring my grief onto the canvas through countless paintings of cats. These paintings became a tribute to Shanku, a way to keep his memory alive.
Shanku
I will remember you, forever…
My journey then led me to the charming streets of the UK, where I was delighted to discover a thriving community of feline friends. From the mischievous Steal, who lived up to his name by pilfering treats, to the elegant Coco, a true beauty with her calico coat, these cats brought joy and inspiration to my life in a new country.

The cats I have met in UK.
During my Master's studies at Winchester School of Art, surrounded by the beauty of British gardens and the comforting ritual of afternoon tea, the seeds of LIN&STUDIO MEOW MEOW@LIN were sown. I envisioned a brand that celebrated my love for cats, art, and the simple pleasures of life, a brand that would capture the essence of those sun-drenched afternoons spent in the company of feline friends.
At the heart of my brand lies Meowment in Time, a hand-drawn animation that captures the whimsical and endearing moments of a cat's daily life. This animation is more than just a story; it's a reflection of my own journey, a love letter to the cats who have touched my life and shaped my art.
The Fusion of Craftsmanship and Art: Bone China and Hand-Painted Cats
Most of LIN&STUDIO MEOW MEOW@LIN's products are crafted from high-quality bone china, renowned for its lightness, translucency, and durability. I combine this traditional material with my hand-painted cat designs to create unique pieces of art. Each cat motif is meticulously hand-painted by me, capturing the essence and charm of feline companions. Every cup, every plate tells a story, inviting you into a world where cats reign supreme.
From packaging to product design, every detail is independently crafted by me. My goal is to infuse everyday life with the warmth and elegance of cats, turning simple moments—like sipping tea or admiring a ceramic piece—into experiences filled with joy and inspiration.
More Than Ceramics: A Complete Dining Experience
LIN&STUDIO MEOW MEOW@LIN is not just a ceramics brand; it is a complete tableware brand. In addition to ceramic cups and plates, I have designed matching cutlery sets to ensure every meal is enjoyed in the company of cats. Each piece of cutlery embodies the brand's core philosophy, blending the playfulness and elegance of cats into its design, making every dining experience more intimate and special.
