The products of Uphold Living are inspired by the problems to be solved in daily life. Take Uphold Cutlery as an example. The set of fork, knife, and spoon is packed into the size of a regular card case. The lightweight product is designed for contemporary lifestyle, where “dining on-the-go is increasingly popular while the distribution of disposable plastics is increasingly restricted. A portable and chic set of cutlery is what users need", Eric explains.

As going green is an irreversible trend, Eric has been adding the elements of sustainable development into all products of recent years, "Designers have to pay attention to changes around and gain a better understanding of the world, including the latest technology and people's needs", said Eric. In a competitive market, foresight is one of the most crucial factors for his success.
