Design Shanghai has been dedicated to identifying and nurturing emerging Chinese designers and brands, providing them with a global platform to showcase their work. Over the past decade, Design Shanghai has witnessed and contributed to the unprecedented growth of numerous young designers, many of whom have even become pillars of contemporary design in China. The highly anticipated event will once again attract leading international and Chinese manufacturers, design-led brands, global industry leaders, architects, collectors, interior designers and design enthusiasts, alongside dynamic cultural programming unique to the city.

Chen Min, the Chinese industrial designer and founder of Chen Min Office and curator of neooold, has invited famous architect, Chen Hao Ru, to create an exhibition space with the theme of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Forest". The vortex-like exhibition space was created with a bamboo forest and a winding path to recreate the Jianghu dream. The curved exhibition route is designed to lead visitors deep into the bamboo forest, with this year’s neooold feature mimicking the "walled city" of Jianghu.

Yang encourages designers to adopt critical attitudes towards the technological and societal changes and strive to create innovative designs that embrace and transcend the boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds.


Interlude by Chi Wing Lo


Chi Wing Lo’s art installation INTERLUDE not only embraces all coming to the Design Shanghai, it is also a bridge connecting people and their ideas. Its realisation is made possible by the woodworking expertise of IWOODSTORY and the electronic innovation of MOORGEN Smart Technology, as well as by their generous sponsorship and sheer commitment in every detail. Composed of a series of screens that meander, fold and define a semi-exclusive chamber, this musical and spacial interlude offers visitors a moment of detachment and reflection, a place to reorientate and rejuvenate.
