Our Story

Original Chinese Design,
for Global Living

We take the jewelry, eyewear and objects of a new generation of Chinese designers — and make them something the whole world wants to wear, gift and live with.

DesignSino jewelry on model

Not a factory. A platform for authors.

China’s independent design scene is quietly extraordinary — studios working in pearl, stone, glass and gold with a point of view all their own. Yet most of it never reaches a global audience.

DesignSino exists to change that. We partner directly with named studios, produce in small batches, and present each piece the way it deserves: as original design, with an author behind it.

What we stand for

Three principles

🖋

Authored, not anonymous

Every piece carries the name of the studio that made it. We celebrate designers, not catalogues.

🌿

Natural materials

Freshwater pearls, opal, amethyst and agate — real materials, honestly set and honestly described.

🌍

Made for the world

Designed in China, made to feel at home anywhere — on the body, in the home, as a gift.

Featured Studios

The designers

Studio Mu

Pearls & natural stone

Working from a small studio, Studio Mu builds around the imperfection of natural materials — baroque pearls, raw opal, faceted amethyst — held in settings that feel grown rather than manufactured.

Lin Atelier

Sculptural gold & pearl

Lin Atelier treats gold like liquid — molten bars, hand-formed cradles and fluid lines that turn a classic pearl into something distinctly modern and architectural.
