Headquartered in cosmopolitan Shanghai, Stellar Works produces pared-down designs that hark back to its Asian roots. Founder Yuichiro Hori shares more about the furniture brand’s forward-looking approach.
Shanghai may not be the first city to come to mind when it comes to furniture production, but Yuichiro Hori hopes to change that with his Shanghai-based brand Stellar Works. The founder recognises the potential of the city’s manufacturing prowess and its growing design scene: “We opened our factory in Shanghai in 2008, with the concept of utilising the technical know-how from France, while using Toyota production systems from Japan.” He adds: “The city is also very international, with a fast-growing economy and a multicultural history that reflects the essence of Stellar Works.”
Beyond its hospitality projects around the world—which include Baccarat Hotel in New York, Capella Shanghai, Rosewood Beijing and Park Hyatt Sydney— Stellar Works is represented by dealers in 30 countries. In Singapore, the brand is carried by P5 Studio. Under the creative direction of Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu of Shanghai-based practice Neri & Hu, the P5 Studio showroom has been transformed with touches of Asian influence to match Stellar Works’ timeless approach to design.
