We represent a new voice in contemporary design—rooted in Chinese craftsmanship, but resonating globally. Each object we curate carries both material presence and emotional weight, blurring the boundary between ritual and utility, between sculpture and collectible furniture.
Our mission is to support the finest Chinese artists working at the intersection of function, philosophy, and form—bringing their creations to collectors, interiors, and institutions worldwide. Whether you're a seasoned collector or simply beginning to explore the world of functional art, SOTACA offers a curated path toward meaningful, lasting design.
We believe in design that lives, breathes, and transforms everyday life into a poetic encounter.

Curator’s Story
A Journey to Find What Was Almost Lost
From ancient streets to a future vision.
I was born in Xi’an, one of China’s oldest cities. As a child, I would often see craftsmen working right on the street carving stone, shaping wood, painting by hand. Their quiet dedication stayed with me.
But as China raced forward, much of that artistry disappeared. In its place: mass-produced things cheap, replaceable, forgettable. Still, I always believed Chinese creators were capable of more: of work with soul, intelligence, and quiet power.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve seen this belief come true.
Across China, artists and designers are creating remarkable pieces rooted in tradition, shaped by thought, and crafted with care.
I’ve traveled to find them across cities, towns, and studios. I talk with them, listen, and build something greater together: a shared belief in what Chinese artistry can be.
SOTACA is my way of rewriting the story.
Not just for the world to see, but for Chinese creators to be seen truly.
