Makers
“They come from my purest focus — a perfect roundness, a profound black, serene as a monument.”
Dong Dan’s ceramics are a testament to precision and serenity. Each piece is shaped by hand, achieving a flawless roundness, while the deep black glaze—crafted from Sichuan clay and straw ash—strikes a delicate balance between gloss and matte. Inspired by the ancient Jizhou kiln patterns, his designs feature intricate dots and circles that seem to expand and multiply, evoking the infinite cycles of nature.
“We look forward to create your favorite handcrafted leather products.”
Since 1894 in Offenbach, Germany, F. Hammann has devoted itself to the crafts of leather goods. Each piece is handcrafted using the finest full-grain leather from Europe to be a cherished, long-time companion to its owner. These leather goods are capsules of generational wisdom, rich history, and true craftsmanship.
“I wish to see new lives animate from the vessels I make.”
Jingwen Wu’s ceramic studio is nestled in Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China. Her work is defined by its fluid, organic forms—vessels that resist predefined purposes, instead inviting their owners to imagine new possibilities. Whether used as vases, tea tools, tableware, or decorative accents, each piece becomes a canvas for the artistic beholder’s vision.
“The echoes of the ancient and the melody of the contemporary.”
Kaibo Xiong, an artist and dean at the China Academy of Art, creates stoneware ceramics that bridge the ancient and the modern. His work draws inspiration from the elemental simplicity of painted pottery and the dignified presence of bronze, reimagining these traditions through contemporary forms. Each piece is a testament to his deep knowledge of ceramic art, crafted not just to serve but to enrich the lives it touches.
“Like the rise and fall of the sun, I work in continuous cycles, with each piece I create capturing my life, day by day.”
Yao Li’s ceramics are a celebration of life’s fleeting moments. Since 2002, she has dedicated herself to creating one-of-a-kind pieces that reimagine classic Chinese motifs—like cranes, rabbits, and florals—through vibrant red-and-green enamel and delicate blue-and-white porcelain. Each piece is unique, reflecting her belief that no two moments, or creations, should ever be the same.
“It has long captivated us in a quiet dance of light.”
Lobmeyr has become synonymous with the artistry of crystal, celebrated for its signature mousseline crystal—incredibly thin, between 0.7 and 1.1 mm, yet remarkably strong. This unique quality allows light to pass through in a way that feels almost weightless, creating an interplay of illumination often described as “living light.” Each piece radiates a quiet brilliance, transforming crystal into an experience of clarity, precision, and subtle sophistication.
“Like following a childhood memory, we return to the human dimension – a rediscovery of our ability to create and invent.”
Since 1841, the Saladini family has been master knife-makers in Scarperia, a small village by Florence known as the “town of knives.” Each handle is made from a single block of natural material, bringing not only a refined, minimalist look but also peerless product longevity against liquids and dust.
“Self-exploration
triggered by the scent of nature.”
SSLK is an exploration of personal philosophy through the sensory
emotions evoked by nature. Drawing from traditional Chinese medicine and
centuries of fragrance wisdom, the brand crafts incense with all-natural
materials, offering therapeutic effects such as soothing, invigoration, and
improved circulation. Each creation is designed to reconnect individuals with
their inner selves, blending the healing power of scent with the subtle details
of the natural world.
