Antares and Capella Yee are siblings who happen to be named after stars, which is fitting when you consider that celestial bodies seem to have aligned to get them where they are today. Antares founded the furniture design studio Sun at Six in 2017, following in the footsteps of his mother, Maria Yee, who started her eponymous furniture business in China in the 1980s.

Brother and sister on an original Maria Yee design, sized for them.
