She’s the hip and talented ceramicist beloved of many an international collector; he’s one of the most fun people we know. Artist and designer Lin Jing and fashion fixer Ray Lee have just revealed the newly refurbished FEI Space boutique in 798. And it’s pretty damn cool.
From Alexander Wang sunglasses to patchwork antique rugs, if you’ve got some cash in your pocket this is a truly fantastic place to splurge.
The old factory space turned shop houses a handful of structures straight out of Lin Jing’s vivid imagination and a smattering of comfy antique chairs and mirrors. There’s even a bed cover from BLESS (the cult Berlin brand) that looks as though two people are sleeping in it – which gave us a fright when we walked in we can tell you…
The artful clothing rails (yes even the racks are stylish) are filled with cutting edge designers from home and abroad, including local luminaries such as Zhang Da and hip Danish menswear maven Henrik Vibskov. There’s even a selection of achingly cool leather cuffs, waist cinchers and bags from London bondage store Fleet Ilya.
In short, this is about as cutting edge as Beijing gets, so go take a peek, you won’t be disappointed.
FEI Space 798 Art District, 4 Jiuxiangqiao Lu, Chaoyang district (+86 10 5978 9580). Open Tue-Sun 10.30am-5.30pm or by special appointment (contact us).
