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.

Foster Visiting Professor Chair in 2018. Rossana was appointed as the chair of the Department of Architecture at Tongji University in 2021. They co-authored and edited Persistence of Vision: Shanghai Architects in Dialogue, published by MCCM Creations in 2007.
 
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 creative directors of Stellar Works, an international furniture brand that honors and advances the spirit and heritage of Asian crafts and traditions.
