Yanxiong Lin is an artist whose pieces bridge tradition and modernity, combining craftsmanship with a forward-thinking approach. He completed his undergraduate studies in Product Design at the China Academy of Art and earned a Master's degree with distinction from Central Saint Martins in London.
Yanxiong’s work often explores the interplay between past and present, drawing inspiration from personal experiences and cultural heritage. Yanxiong’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at PAD London, Design Miami and Collect Art Fair, and is held in permanent collections like the SHAANXI OPERA HOUSE AND XI’AN CONCERT HALL. In 2024, Yanxiong Lin became the cover of House & Garden Design 100.
Now based between London and Shanghai, Yanxiong continues to explore the intersection of emotional experience and craftsmanship, redefining contemporary furniture and sculptural objects through a dialogue between past traditions and future possibilities.
