Proudly Made in China: NEST collective

May 27, 2008

A group of foreigners doing business in Shanghai recently hatched a new idea to bring “design with a conscience” to the China market. NEST, as the retail collective is called, aims to unite “intelligent design” with “responsible manufacturing” through collaboration among eight different brands selling sustainable products, including Wobabybasics organic baby clothes; AOO recyclable furniture; and Jooi Design home decor and fashion accessories. The project is sponsored by Hu & Hu, a Chinese antiques company, and Arabica Roasters, suppliers of organic, fair-trade coffee.
