From drawing board to production floor.
Since the late 1990s, Robert Chan has worked across architecture, product and furniture design, bespoke interiors and industrial manufacturing. He founded and developed Nube businesses in Shanghai and has spent more than two decades building an international manufacturing operation serving leading design and furniture companies. That experience brings an unusually close understanding of what happens between a good idea and a reliable product.
Engineering is where knowledge meets consequence.
Ionis brings together design judgement, materials knowledge, manufacturing experience, sourcing and commercial realities. The work is grounded in practical application: understanding the problem, finding what matters, developing a workable solution and taking it far enough that it can survive contact with the real world.
