The collection finds inspiration in the harmony and balance between classical forms and mid-century aesthetics. Neri&Hu have translated these into the design of a table and chairs following Asian temple design typologies: the sphere which symbolises the temple of Heaven versus the square form represented by the temple of Earth.

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.
In 2012, established Stellar Works as a way to bring ideas together: East and West, heritage and modernity, craft and industry – bringing the best of the past into the light of the present. Our aim was to inspire a renaissance in Asian aesthetics, taking the forms, styles and motifs that have characterised Japanese design across the centuries and filtering them through the lens of the European tradition to create something new and timeless.
