Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu are the founding partners of Neri&Hu Design and Research Office. Whether through objects of intimate daily use or vessels of inhabitation, they seek an approach to design that draws from multiple disciplines to provide experiences that enrich contemporary life while still keeping a critical linkage to a collective history.

Alongside their design practice, Lyndon and Rossana have been deeply committed to architectural education and have lectured across the globe in various universities and professional forums. Having recently finished teaching as Design Critic in Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design following their last appointment in 2019, they will begin teaching as design critics at Yale School of Architecture in 2022 spring, where they received the distinguished Norman R.

They have previously taught at the University of Hong Kong Faculty of Architecture in 2017.

Lyndon and Rossana are also Founding Partners of Design Republic in Shanghai since 2004, a design platform incorporating retail concept, design and cultural exhibitions, and education. In 2015, they were appointed as the Creative Directors of Stellar Works, an international furniture brand that honors and advances the spirit and heritage of Asian crafts and traditions.
