Our Story
Stellar Works stands for a renaissance of
refined culture and Asian sensibility.
In 2012, we established Stellar Works
as a way to bring ideas together: East and West,
heritage and modernity, craft and industry –
bringing the best of the past into the light of the present.
Our aim was to inspire a renaissance in Asian aesthetics,
taking the forms, styles and motifs that have characterised
Japanese design across the centuries and filtering them through
the lens of the European tradition to create something new and timeless.
Our Ethos
We believe that this bringing together of cultures is what sets us apart, both in terms of the character of our creative output and the strength of our business today. From the beginning, Stellar Works has benefited from the strategy and dynamism of Japanese operations management, the high-end craftsmanship of French furniture making and the technical proficiency of our Shanghai production team.
We have chosen this path between the old and
the new because we believe good design is timeless design.
A particular style of furniture may be all the rage for a while,
but if it looks tired after a decade, it’s not good design – it’s
a passing trend. Stellar Works aims to be timeless. We would like
to think that 100 years from now, our pieces will still be as
contemporary and resonant as they are today and, moreover, that
Stellar Works will still be crafting quality furniture that is
Asian in inspiration, cross-cultural in design and international
in its scope.
