DESIGNERS
NERI&HU
Neri&Hu is an inter-disciplinary award-winning architectural design practice based in Shanghai, China.
With their product line, ‘neri&hu’ they seek alternatives to the normative.
neri&hu is the reinterpretation of the beauty in the raw material, changing perceptions through what is revealed, examining history and its path, or capturing an ordinary scene in a snapshot.
“We’re designing it in China and having it made in Portugal. Why? Because it’s really just the best craft we’ve seen so far. What we’re saying is that China needs to step out there and show the world that we can also design and create,” Neri&Hu.
INFORMATION

NOTE
When using leather to upholster the expansive surface of the headboard, our craftspeople will use their discretion to ensure the natural variations in the hide’s colour and grain are most elegantly displayed. This may mean adding stitch lines to the headboard.

Our craftspeople may also need to add a stitch line to the headboard when applying upholstery, such as those with a pattern or prominent texture, depending on the orientation of the roll.

FINISHES
TIMBER
Solid wood is an expression of the life of a tree, grown for at least 30 years, and the weather patterns it experienced, the absorption of sunshine and minerals. The tree is imbued with meaning, and this meaning is transferred to the piece of furniture it becomes. Our planks are cut in a way that honours the growth rings and grain, making them clearly visible.
AMERICAN BLACK WALNUT
Our American black walnut is from the midwestern United States. This is a prized hardwood with luxuriously figurative grain patterns and great strength. The walnut tree is relatively small, and the dark heartwood is surrounded by sap wood that is blond in colour. Our American black walnut timber is available in a choice of oil finishes. Our Danish oil, white oil, and black oil finishes provide a renewable surface for enduring beauty.
Damage can be repaired with relative ease, as the timber can be reapplied with wax or oil at any moment.

Damage can be repaired with relative ease, as the timber can be reapplied with wax or oil at any moment.
