Welcome to umum objects, a small atelier curated by Dan Huang and Shutong Fan. We’re here to share the charm of craftsmanship and the stories behind it. From our home in London, we connect with Chinese artisans, bringing their work and traditions closer to others. Every piece we share comes with a story—from our travels, our chats, and the hands that made it. It’s not just about one-of-a-kind objects; it’s also about the heritage and care they carry.
