2006: founded in shanghai, neri&hu represents a new modern chinese aesthetic. founded by designers whose intent is to spark the potential in 'chinese design,' neri&hu seeks to evoke change. seeking top-quality materials and craftsmanship, most neri&hu products are hand made, a reflection of a place whose masters of trade can still be found waiting for patrons in the lanes of shanghai. neri&hu is the reinterpretation of the beauty in revealing raw material where clad is traditional, or exposing an object's frame where normally hidden, in examining history and its path, or in capturing an ordinary scene in a snapshot.
