Built on a belief that the most extraordinary things
are the ones most people walk past.

I studied Cultural Industry Management at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, then went to University College London to study Sustainable Heritage. In between, I spent years working in supply chain management and international trade — sitting at the intersection of China and the world, watching beautiful things move across borders.

What I kept noticing was the gap. On one side: extraordinary craft traditions, living artisans, thousand-year-old techniques still being practised in workshops most visitors never find. On the other: a global audience genuinely hungry for something real — but with no way in.

It started with a question
I couldn't stop asking.

"The most significant cultural heritage is often the kind that doesn't announce itself. You have to know where to look."

My years in supply chain taught me how things move. My training in heritage taught me why they matter. Lann was built to connect the two — to bring objects and experiences from China's living craft traditions into the hands and lives of people who will truly appreciate them.

Objects, curated with care

We work directly with studio artists in Jingdezhen — China's thousand-year porcelain capital. Each object is chosen by hand for its craft, its character, and the story it carries. Delivered to homes across the world with free 30-day returns.

Two ways to encounter
Eastern craft.

Experiences, designed for depth

Small-group cultural experiences in China for international visitors — led entirely in English, rooted in genuine heritage knowledge. From Song Dynasty tea ceremonies at the origin of matcha, to encounters with intangible cultural heritage masters that most travellers never reach.

Every visitor to China deserves
to experience the real thing.

China's cultural heritage is not a museum piece. It is alive — in the hands of a ceramicist in Jingdezhen who learned her craft from a master who learned it from his, in the workshop of an artisan still making objects that predate every country in Europe, in the monastery where Buddhist monks whisked tea into bowls nine centuries before anyone called it a ceremony.

Most visitors never reach it. Not because it doesn't exist — but because no one has built them a bridge.

That is what Lann Home is. A bridge, built by someone who has studied both sides of it, and who cares deeply about what gets lost when the crossing doesn't happen.

器

境

• Authenticity over aesthetic

  We choose what is genuinely significant before we choose what is beautiful. Though usually, they are the same thing.

• Depth over spectacle

  We are not in the business of tourism. We are in the business of understanding — creating moments where cultural knowledge actually transfers.

• Living heritage, not frozen history

  The traditions we work with are practised by real people, today. We support them — through direct partnerships, fair compensation, and the simple act of telling their stories to the world.

A note from
the person behind Lann.

I am drawn to things that have been made slowly, by people who have spent their lives learning how. A teapot from Yixing whose clay has been worked by the same family for four generations. A script invented by women who were never taught to read. A temple where a monk changed the way the world drinks tea, and almost nobody knows his name.

These things exist everywhere in China. They are not hard to find — if you know what you are looking for, and if you have someone to take you there.

I built Lann Home because I wanted to be that person. Not a tour guide, not a retailer — a curator. Someone who selects with genuine knowledge, explains with genuine care, and connects people with the parts of China that have quietly shaped the world and rarely received the credit.

Whether you find us through a ceramic bowl or a morning at a mountain monastery — I hope what you take away is the same: a sense that there is more here than you realised, and that it was worth the attention.
