Founded by Cheng Keren, Being Studio produces one-of-a-kind products handmade from earthen materials. Each object represents the transformation from a piece of our planet to a household product – its state of “being” always remaining constant.
“Being is the basic property of all things and visible things are the result. Each object from the Being Studio is both a stone from a mountain as well as the artist's abstract thoughts. I always hope that it will last forever, and I always realize that it is just a sequential being. Not positive, not negative, not follow-suit. It’s everyone,” says the designer.
Cheng Keren has a background in fine arts and design having studied under Professor Wang Jianzhong at the Academy of Fine Arts, Tsinghua University as well as masters Lu Jun and his wife, Fan Jianhua, in Jiangsu Province.
