UMUM OBJECTS

‘umum objects’ is a living dialogue, an atelier that transcends the boundaries of its London home to forge connections between Chinese artisans and

audiences worldwide. Our space is filled with simmering ideas and experiments. By sharing our stories from craft-hunting trips, each object becomes more than mere aesthetics; each handcrafted piece serves as a storyteller, a vessel of shared heritage, artistry, and cultural interchange.

At umum, we create a platform where tradition breathes new life, and every crafted item resonates with the narratives of those who shape and cherish it.We invite you to touch, feel, and engage with these creations to complete the

circle of their journey.
