DESIGNER
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.

TIMBER
BRASS
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, with an attractive gold-like colour. It has been used for centuries for decorative items and musical instruments. We coat our brass with Renaissance Wax which provides a barrier to slow ageing and oxidisation, while maintaining a natural appearance.Our polished brass is hand polished before the application of wax.
PAINTED EUROPEAN ASH
Our painted timber is available in a choice of 10 paint colours.

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 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.
EUROPEAN ASH
Our European Ash is from Portugal, Spain and France. European Ash is a hardwood that has long been prized by cabinetmakers due to its versatility and simple beauty. This dense timber has a coarse yet even texture, compressive strength, and an appealing straight grain.
It varies in colour from a cream to pale tan colour and accepts stains and coatings more readily than other timbers. Our European ash timber is available in a choice of oil, painted, or stained finishes.
AMERICAN WHITE OAK
Our American white oak is from the eastern coast of the United States. Oak has long been used in furniture due to its great density, outstanding durability and simple, understated beauty. Its durability is compounded by the fact that it contains tannin acid, which naturally prevents rotting. Our American white oak timber is available in a choice of oil finishes, or an oxidised finish. 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.
Our oxidised timber is sealed with a clear matte lacquer to maintain the colour whilst preserving the tactility of the surface.
