Fashion and Home Design
Chen's fashion brand Layefe (a play on his first name) launched in 1998, followed in 2000 by the emergence of Layefe Home, his designer homeware line.
The late artist's original intent in producing and designing a fashion line was to provide affordable but beautiful clothing to his home country. After spending time out of the country and gaining more perspective for his own personal tastes in beauty, Chen noticed a lack of style in his homeland and vouched to remedy the problem by creating a clothing line that embodied his own sense of Western-Eastern fusion. With Layefe he aimed to "provide beautiful and affordable clothing for Chinese women"
Layefe Home has a similar mission in providing beautiful things for the average citizen. Layefe Home offers a variety of kitchenware products and home decorative products that infuse quality with modern style. Although the pieces of this collection have been considered "fairly expensive," they present a unique brand of quality and modernity to the market.

“The test of an adventure is that when you’re in the middle of it, you say to yourself, “Oh, now I’ve got myself into an awful mess; I wish I were sitting quietly at home.” And the sign that something’s wrong with you is when you sit quietly at home wishing you were out having lots of adventure.”
—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
“For I choose that my remembrances of him should be pleasing, affecting, religious. I will love him as a glorified friend, after the free way of friendship, and not pay him a stiff sign of respect, as men do to those whom they fear. A passage read from his discourses, a moving provocation to works like his, any act or meeting which tends to awaken a pure thought, a flow of love, an original design of virtue, I call a worthy, a true commemoration.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
