A Century of Copper, Living in Daily Life

ZBRON is a contemporary home and art brand that brings the warmth and mastery of copper into everyday life. Since 1875, this craft has passed through five generations in Shaoxing, China, weathering a century of change.

Today, the fourth-generation master Zhu Bingren and the fifth-generation inheritor Zhu Junmin bring this century-old craftsmanship into contemporary living, blending timeless handcraft with modern design to create objects of enduring beauty and meaning.

From National Landmarks to Your Home
Our work is etched into China’s cultural landmarks, including the Leifeng Pagoda, the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, Shanghai Jing’an Temple, and Putuo Mountain’s Guanyin Fa-jie, as well as major events like the G20, BRICS, and SCO summits. Recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage, these pieces symbolize Chinese craft and cultural excellence.

Now, the same dedication enters your space. Each teapot, incense holder, or wall piece carries the warmth of history and the spirit of contemporary artistry, designed to be used and cherished.

Innovation Meets Tradition
Alongside traditional copper carving techniques, we pioneered molten copper art, Gengcai enamel, and copper painting techniques, creating a “Molten Realism” style. Our workshops and R&D centers continually explore how ancient craftsmanship can meet modern creativity, giving each piece a unique life.

Cultural Dialogue and the Spirit of Gifting
We collaborate with institutions such as the Palace Museum, the Summer Palace, the Van Gogh Museum, and the program “National Treasure,” producing cross-cultural artistic creations. ZBRON works are not only collectible art—they embody the spirit of thoughtful gifting, serving as diplomatic gifts or cherished presents for those you hold dear.

Craft as a Living Tradition
Craftsmanship is alive. We nurture new generations of artisans and have established rural workshops in Songyang and Quzhou to support “art-driven rural development.” By innovating and marketizing traditional skills, we ensure these crafts shine in modern life while improving artisans’ livelihoods.

Your Choice, Part of a Century-Long Legacy
Choosing ZBRON is more than acquiring an object—it is joining a narrative of craftsmanship that spans centuries. You support masters and artisans, sustain cultural heritage, and bring quietly profound beauty into daily life.

We are not merely makers of copper; we are storytellers, sharing the enduring elegance of Chinese craftsmanship with the world.
