A Modular Sofa Collection Designed By Neri&Hu

In 2024, Neri&Hu introduced four new collections inspired by the craftsmanship of traditional cultures: Qi, Inter, Lyrical, and Mr.B. Building on Stellar Works' commitment to blending past and present, Neri&Hu have created a harmonious fusion of Eastern and Western influences, aiming to enrich lives through timeless beauty and skilled artistry.

Centered on the essence of tranquility, the Qi collection embodies the act of resting in a meditative way.Echoing the traditional Chinese concept of a leisurely afternoon rest, this collection effortlessly blends a minimal Asian aesthetic with contemporary sensibilities. The Luohan Chuang, formally recognized as a daybed, originally served as a meditation bench for Buddhist monks during the Ming dynasty. Its low, elongated wooden frame with a slightly raised headrest reflects a simple yet sophisticated design.

The Qi collection offers one, two, and three-seater sofas that combine wood with textile upholstery and cushions. Accompanied by an ottoman and a range of pillows, the Qi sofa provides a versatile and elegant seating solution suitable for diverse living spaces, ensuring both style and comfort.

Lyndon Neri describes the design ethos behind Qi, "The design for Qi seamlessly blends the iconic wooden structural base of a traditional Luohan Chuang with a straightforward padded platform and cushions, offering enhanced comfort for both seated and reclined positions".
