Benwu Studio was founded in 2012 in New York City by Chinese designers Hongchao Wang and Peng You. It has grown into one of the few multidisciplinary design firms in China. Initially focusing on material experimentation and craftsmanship research, the studio expanded in 2015, bringing in interior architects Wei Ge and Penglong Geng and product designers Qiyun Deng and Tian Ma. This transformation enabled Benwu to excel in product design, interior design, installation design, and brand strategy, establishing a unique position across luxury, fashion, product design, furniture, and exhibitions. Benwu Studio's projects span multiple fields, with one of its most notable being the BNS nightclub and gallery project at No. 8 Hengshan Road, which was rated as Shanghai's No.1 hip-hop-themed nightclub. This venue has hosted private parties and performances for celebrities such as Jackson Wang, Edison Chen, and Allen Iverson. The studio's achievements include designing Louis Vuitton's 11-story office at Plaza 66 in Shanghai and the Hermès Petit h pop-up store in 2015.
