由郭锡恩先生(Mr. Lyndon Neri)和胡如珊女士 (Ms. Rossana Hu)创建的“设计共和”汇聚了世界设计师的家居系列作品并将通过中外设计师的设计作品来探讨新现代中国美学的发展方向。
设计共和代表了一种崭新的生活和独特风格。设计共和的成立初衷是建立一个生活的共和 —— 这是一种由精美的居家用品带给我们的精彩生活。通过寻找一种人与日常生活物品之间的微妙关系,从一杯一盏,到一把椅子,从而发现美的存在。
设计共和是一种时尚风格的共和 —— 一种以独特的现代中国审美观在设计、零售与商业推广领域中创造出来的全新时尚风格;它将突破传统束缚,融合旧与新、传统与现代、简朴与奢华,最终打造出设计的完美境界。
Established by founders Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu, Design Republic will offer a unique collection of products created by the world's best design talents, many of which have never been made available to consumers in China. Design Republic will also collaborate with many designers both foreign and local to create products that will explore a new modern Chinese aesthetic.
Design Republic stands for a new birth of life and style. At its foundation, it is a republic of life - life that creates meaning and understanding through its relationship to objects of habitation. We seek to explore the relationship between people and the simple objects they use in life - a plate, a teacup, a chair; it is here where we discover the beauty of everyday life.
Design Republic is also a republic of style - style that creates new ideologies in design, retail, and merchandising concepts embodying a distinctive aesthetic for contemporary China. We cross traditional boundaries to merge old and new, traditional and modern, opulent and austere, to ultimately create a dynamic platform of design.
