Details

In 1616, porcelain stones were discovered at Izumayama mountain, which gave birth to Japan’s very first porcelain. In the Edo era, many tableware artifacts belonging to Japanese feudal lords were made from Arita porcelain, manufactured in the northern part of Kyushu Island. After a research trip to Japan, Neri&Hu were inspired to reinterpret this historic manufacturing technique by using it in the production of the Arita collection for Stellar Works. The result is a contemporary dining collection with a 400 year old story behind it. These containers inspired by Chinese traditional wine bottles offer two sizes for cold or warm liquids where the cups for drinking can be stacked at the neck of the bottle to form a visually interesting and complete setting. The brass holder offers a graceful detail to the simple white shape.

Schooled in the United States at UC Berkeley and, respectively, Harvard and Princeton, Philippines-born Lyndon Neri (b.1965) and Taiwanese-born Rossana Hu (b.1968) have together become one of the most dynamic design forces in China today. They moved to Shanghai in 2002 while working for American architect Michael Graves on his renovation of that city’s landmark Three on the Bund project. The husband-and-wife team established their Shanghai showroom Design Republic, selling contemporary design, in 2003. In 2004, they established their design company, Neri&Hu Design and Research Office. Since then, they have taken on architecture and interiors projects including the restaurants and nightclubs. Simultaneously, as Neri&Hu, they have created independently-produced, contemporary furniture and objects that have been sold around the world.
