YANADE by Klinton Lau
Klinton is an innovative potter, interior designer, and furniture maker whose work explores the intersection of sustainability, traditional craftsmanship, and modern design. Throughout his studies and practice, Klinton has focused on weaving these elements together, infusing his creations with a unique interpretation that seeks to revive cultural identity and promote sustainability in households. His vision is deeply rooted in the belief that design can reconnect us—and future generations—to our cultural roots while raising global awareness.
Currently, Klinton is immersed in the world of metal, wood and ceramics, crafting pieces that embody the delicate balance between tradition and contemporary aesthetics.

By blending the subtlety of traditional craftsmanship with the accuracy and possibilities of digital tools, Klinton creates contemporary furniture that not only reflects modern movements but also honors cultural identities from both the past and present.
Looking ahead, Klinton is eager to explore new materials and techniques, continuously seeking fresh ideas that push the boundaries of furniture design. His work stands as a testament to the power of design in sustaining cultural heritage while embracing the future. / @yanade_studio
