About Nanzhu

Bringing Nanzhu into Contemporary Life

Nanzhu is a plant leaf native to the southern regions of China.

Long used in traditional daily life, yet rarely introduced in a contemporary context.

We are interested not only in where it comes from, but in how it can be re-understood and re-applied today.

What We Do

Starting with Nanzhu, we explore its potential through plant research, cultural knowledge, and modern perspectives. We do not limit it to a single product or category, nor do we keep tradition frozen in time.

Instead, we allow it to evolve and exist in contemporary forms.
