cont. is a Hangzhou-based product design studio founded in 2023 by interior stylist Tu Liang and designer Zhong Yuankang. Drawing on more than a decade of experience in homeware design, the studio creates objects through a flexible, considered approach, balancing function, comfort and visual expression. Its work has received recognition including the Golden Pin Design Award and the Contemporary Good Design Award.

Short for “continue,” Cont. reflects the studio’s interest in objects that can remain relevant over time. By reinterpreting everyday living, materials and craftsmanship, the brand creates enduring pieces designed to feel natural in contemporary spaces. Each object is made not only to be seen, but to live alongside the people who use it.
