Founded by Zhiyuan Zhu and joined by Lin Cai in 2019, SMOGE SPACE creates textured black ceramics that blur the line between sculpture and vessel. Hand-thrown, carved, and glazed in matte black, each piece is fired at 1280°C. Rooted in quiet power and restraint, their work channels Chinese cosmology—where black symbolizes wisdom, depth, and flow.

Using reclaimed clay, he crafts collectible ceramic art rooted in sustainability, cultural heritage, and contemporary Chinese aesthetics.

kar- blurs the boundary between sculpture and furniture. Each hand-crafted piece—often in fiberglass—is both a seat and a sculptural form, born of emotional rhythm and quiet philosophy. Rooted in Eastern thought, their work invites not just use, but reflection—offering presence, texture, and a meditative sense of stillness in space.

Yuan Du creates hand-built ceramic vessels rooted in simplicity, slowness, and emotional tactility. Her work draws from the rhythms of daily ritual and ancient natural forms—quiet containers shaped by time, memory, and breath. Each piece holds space rather than fills it, offering presence, not spectacle.

Born in Wuxi and trained at Tsinghua and Central Saint Martins, Dahua Yin creates sculptural furniture rooted in Chinese craft and modern structure. Raised in a family of woodworkers, his work explores tension between memory and material, order and disruption. With forms that appear to tremble, his pieces evoke instinct, resilience, and the body’s quiet resistance.
