Jianze is a name derived from "Generation Z" by pronunciation and encompasses the meaning of "principles of space".

Founded in 2019 by Bea Wu and officially went into the market in 2021, A young team with Generation Z genes dived to explore the current real housing type and living conditions while considering the different life stages, values and aesthetic orientations. Providing household products that address actual use and emotional needs of users, instead of fulfilling stylistic needs, has become Jianze's basis for home styling. We support our users in exploring a lifestyle that suits them. Users are creators, and home is about the expression of content. This is the "principles of space" for our generation.

The brand logo and graphical elements of Jianze was designed by the main visual of Raw Color, a Dutch avant-garde design group. "0" is a symbol that can be either empty or solid, and can serve as both the beginning and the end. Taking "0" as a symbol for the brand spirit, and echoing the brand proposition of "open definition, relaxed expression" with "0 rules, 0 pressure", we use this to metaphorically express the endless possibilities that this generation has.

The forward-looking nature of the design sets higher demands for production, selecting only experienced manufacturing partners with care. Each product undergoes an average of four rounds of sampling, taking a development period of over a year, all for the sake of faithfully recreating the design and ensuring high-quality products.
