Chen Hong-quan (or Chen Hung-chuan) collects Taiwanese vintage items from the good old days. From radios, televisions, and household appliances, to motorcycles, a grocery cart, a tricycle, and even a duty station console, his collection preserves the objects that once shaped daily life. One of the most valuable pieces is his 1951 British-made MG convertible car, still in running condition. For Chen, however, antiques are more than their market price. Each one marks a chapter in Taiwan’s history, capturing technological milestones and the rhythms of ordinary life. Together, they form a living archive of the past, one that Chen believes should be preserved and remembered by future generations. Behind every collection lies a story worth preserving. “The Perfect Piece” explores Taiwan’s most extraordinary collectors and the objects they cherish. Join us on a journey through the memories, histories, and lifelong passions woven into every treasured piece.
