Our Journey
2023: The Dream Takes Flight
THE ZHAI was born in a small studio in Suzhou, driven by the original aspiration to integrate the beauty of Chinese intangible cultural heritage into modern life.
From Studio to Company
With a steadfast commitment to quality and a deep understanding of traditional culture, we gradually gained recognition. Our team grew stronger, our scope of operations expanded, and we evolved from a humble studio into a comprehensive cultural communication company.
Core Values: Inheritance and Innovation
We delve into the essence of Chinese intangible cultural heritage and breathe new life into traditional craftsmanship by merging it with contemporary design concepts.
Connecting Global Enthusiasts
Every piece we create carries the warmth of artisanship and the soul of culture, offering people around the world a tangible experience of intangible heritage through the beauty of everyday life.
