Yanzi
Neri & Hu
The activity of Neri & Hu is founded
on constant research and the desire
to work on the dynamic interaction of
experience, detail, material, shape, and
light, rather than adapt to stereotyped
formulas.
In a blend of tradition and innovation,
Yanzi is a lightweight composition of
graphic signs: balanced structures,
such as branches or perches, support
multiple stylized figures to provide a
variety of versions and qualities of light.
They are iconic swallows with a brushed
brass body, with their head like a white
glass sphere enclosing light, either flying
free or contained in glass cages. There
is unique sensibility in matching warm
and cold, essential yet refined materials.
The Yanzi collection, introduced in
2017, comes in different versions as
a prefect range to create lightweight
compositions and light landscapes.
