Innermost were invited to build an exhibition showcasing the unique style of their latest ranges by the owners of Fei Space in the 798 District of Beijing. The exhibition runs until March 30th.

The installation features many of the newest ranges launched for 2008 and details the specialist materials and processes behind many of the companies well known designs.

Innermost see the Beijing exhibition as being of crucial importance to being understood and accepted in China.

This month sees the opening of the first Chinese Design exhibition at the V&A London and so it is fitting that a British company should cross over to display a collection of works in China.

FEI Space
FEI space is a welcome addition to the 798 Art Factory District, and showcases some of China’s most original fashion, home furnishing and accessory designs. The gallery is the first one in the hip 798 district to focus entirely on design.

FEI is the brainchild of Ms. LinJing, Guangzhou-born and educated at the Beijing Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Brussels Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Lin, lived in the FEI loft space, as one of the earliest residents of 798 Art Factory District. She and her family recently moved out and converted the residential loft space into FEI’s retail showroom. The space still has a homey informal feel to it, despite its massive size and dramatic ceiling and window height. 

FEI’s owners aim to make the loft showroom a laboratory-like space for contemporary design experimentation, with alternating exhibits of whatever new design ideas and innovations grab the attention of its owners.

Lin’s partners in FEI are fellow designer Chen Maomao also from China and journalist Manuela Parrinao, from Italy. The trio aim to make FEI a welcome haven for contemporary design lovers who can visit frequently in order to discover fresh new talent, and to get an early peek at the latest design ideas from China and elsewhere.
