Cabinet of Curiosity Read
‘secrets &..’ by Neri&Hu is the first edition of A Cabinet of Curiosity, an ongoing series to be launched in subsequent years, slowly peeling away the hidden to finally satisfy the curiosity in all of us.
The wooden cabinet with glass doors rests on a metal trolley inspired by scenes from a ceramic factory, before the cart enters the fiery furnace. The furnace represents trials and tribulations we all encounter in life, from which we pay sweat and tears, pain and pleasure. Yet it is through the burning of these sins and secrets that we walk out white as snow. Secrets revealed. Or secrets concealed. That is up to us.

In 2012, Stellar Works was established by architects Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu in Shanghai and London, as a way to bring ideas together: East and West, heritage and modernity, craft and industry – bringing the best of the past into the light of the present.
Their aim was to inspire a renaissance in Asian aesthetics, taking the forms, styles and motifs that have characterised Japanese design across the centuries and filtering them through the lens of the European tradition to create something new and timeless.
Neri&Hu’s interdisciplinary approach to architecture and interior, graphic and product design is rooted in context, never formulaic or conventional, and built around a commitment to creating forms with meaning.
The company’s diverse, multicultural team strives to reinvent classic craft, adding a fresh, contemporary touch to their projects and collaborations all over the world.
