“Umu” or 有無 in Japanese kanji means to exist and not exist. This bedroom collection by Neri&Hu is inspired by the Chinese aesthetic philosophy of xu shi xiang sheng. A pairing of opposing words, xu meaning void and shi meaning real, hence the notion of interdependence and productive nature of this dichotomy — “solid” and “void” together create “space” as we know it. The bed design is composed of a utilitarian structural frame that accommodates various attachments and accessories. The idea is to consolidate many of the bed and bedside functions into one piece, with three different configurations to suite different spaces and needs.
