jianze is a home and lifestyle design focused brand. Born for the new Generation Z and their multi-faceted lifestyle, jianze advocates the attitude of ‘never defined’. jianze, like Gen Z which is where the brand’s pronunciation comes from, is not about age, but the mentality. Converging at the cross-section of design and beauty, the brand expresses both attitude and aesthetics for the new Chinese consumer.

jianze is founded by Bea Wu in 2019. Led by creative director and designer Min Chen, the brand redefines the ‘rules of space’, and challenges any traditional standards or limitations to home design. 

As part of its launch collection, Min Chen invited Dutch design collective Raw Color visual design in collaboration with jianze to create a high-saturation visual system using 0 as their spiritual motif, to pay tribute to Gen Zero - the undefined generation Z, and to echo the fundamental intentions of jianze for no rules, and no stress.

Jinno Neko graduated with a degree in Fashion Design from the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education. While studying, she became interested in Japanese art and culture. In 2007, she began to use paper-mâché as a medium, and the Japanese folk toy dog “Inu Hariko” as her inspiration to create Jinno dog, also known as “Jinno Inu” in different forms, while integrating bamboo crafting techniques into her creations.

Jinno Neko has showcased her works at several individual and joint exhibitions while collaborating with different art and commercial organizations. In 2011, she took part in Dispatchwork Worldwide organized by Berlin artist Jan Vornman to restore Hong Kong’s historical buildings with Lego bricks. In the following year, Jinno Neko combined traditional bamboo crafting techniques with fashion design and participated in a joint exhibition organized by Groovisions, a design studio based in Japan, and LCX, a fashion store in Hong Kong. In 2014, Jinno Neko collaborated with Sony Music and used stray cats as the theme of her paintings to reflect on the connection between human beings and the environment. ​

Joyce expresses herself through the plasticity and potentiality of clay. She combines the grotesqueness of cultural relics with domesticity in her making of utilitarian ceramics.

Joyce was born in Hong Kong in 1992. She took her bachelor’s degree at the Academy of Visual Arts of the Hong Kong Baptist University in 2015 and won the AVA award. She furthered her study in ceramics at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in 2019. She had the experience of visiting ceramic workshops in Jingdezhen and Red Gate Gallery in Beijing as artist-in-residence. Her artwork was featured in galleries and art fairs in Hong Kong, the United States, Australia, Germany, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Joyce is fascinated by ancient wares displayed in many art museums during her days in America. Although those ancient wares were found in different continents, Joyce discovered that they all share a lot in common in terms of form and decoration. By capturing and integrating the features of those ancient wares in her ceramics, such as the tripod of Shang Dynasty ding, the decorative human faces on the ancient Peruvian ceramic vessels, Joyce wishes to tell you the unheard and forgotten stories. 

Julie & Jesse is an art / design studio established in Hong Kong + Jingdezhen by designer Julie Progin (Swiss) and artist Jesse Mc Lin (American). The duo’s practice straddles between the fields of design, craft and art using function as a pretext for visual discourse and ceramic experiments as a method. They embrace a unique approach to each project, inspired by its cultural, historic and economic context as well as resources available at hand.

Julie & Jesse combine research and material investigations into sculptural objects, installations and experiences. From capturing the movement of clay during firing to archiving the break and decay of distressed production molds, the key attributes of their work are time, context and transformation.

Julie & Jesse’s works have been shown at the Triennale Di Milano, Yingge Museum in Taipei. Their works are held in private collections as well as public permanent collections at the China Ceramic Museum in Jingdezhen, China, M+ Museum for Visual Culture, Hong Kong.
