Stellar Works

Heritage

Stellar Works was established in 2012 as a way to bring ideas together: East and West, heritage and modernity, craft and industry. According to Wikipedia the brand was launched at the Salone del Mobile in 2012; it is based in Shanghai, with Yuichiro Hori as founder and CEO and creative direction by Neri&Hu (Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu).

Philosophy

The company's stated aim is to inspire a renaissance in Asian aesthetics, filtering forms, styles and motifs of Japanese design through the lens of the European tradition. Stellar Works believes that good design is timeless design and treats responsible material sourcing and transparent manufacturing as part of every product's story. It draws on Japanese operations management, French furniture-making craftsmanship and the technical proficiency of its Shanghai production team.

Iconic Works

Alongside contemporary signatures such as Neri&Hu's Utility collection, Stellar Works keeps vintage lines in production, reissuing designs by 20th-century names including Vilhelm Wohlert, Jens Risom and Carlo Forcolini.

Today

The catalogue covers dining and lounge chairs, stools and bar chairs, benches, sofas and beds, tables, cabinets and shelving, lamps and accessories for hospitality and residential projects, designed with studios including Neri&Hu, Yabu Pushelberg, Space Copenhagen, Nendo, Michele De Lucchi and Sebastian Herkner. Its pieces are made in Shanghai.
