Stellar Works

Stellar Works is a Shanghai-based furniture brand established in 2012 to bring ideas together: East and West, heritage and modernity, craft and industry. Its stated ambition was a renaissance in Asian aesthetics, taking the forms, styles and motifs that have characterised Japanese design and filtering them through the European tradition to create something new and timeless.

The company combines the strategy of Japanese operations management, the high-end craftsmanship of French furniture making and the technical proficiency of its Shanghai production team. Alongside contemporary collections it keeps 20th-century classics in production, including designs by Vilhelm Wohlert and Carlo Forcolini, and works with designers whose pieces move between Bauhaus functionalism, mid-century Scandinavian simplicity and Asian craft traditions.
