AUDI PRESENTS ‘WINDOW INTO THE FUTURE’


Audi presented the “Window into the Future”. The installation forms a multifaceted setting for Audi’s Q4 e- tron concept, epitomizing the brand’s vision of a tangible harmony between sustainability and electric driving excitement.


“There has never been a more exciting time to be a car designer. Right now is the best time to rethink and reconceive automobile design – in short, to take car design into the future.”

- Marc Lichte, Head of Audi Design



TOM DIXON PRESENTS ‘YESTERDAY/TODAY/TOMORROW’


Tom Dixon presented the installation "OCTAGON" - created against the backdrop of the global pandemic and its effect on people’s lives and businesses. Themed "Yesterday/Today/Tomorrow", the installation is inspired by the modules used by nomadic circuses for touring performances in which eight sides of glass cabinets display a variety of products. Designer Tom Dixon remarks, "We have a challenging journey ahead and the obstacles will be there. We have always wanted the Chinese audience to know more about our story, and I think this is the time to demonstrate the innovative and pioneering spirit of the brand." 




‘KALEIDOSCOPIA II’ BY LEE BROOM


House of Wang, a newly opened lifestyle boutique in Beijing, has invited British designer Lee Broom, recipient of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise, to debut a light installation called "Kaleidoscopia II". Broom wraps his iconic lighting products such as Chamber, Orion, Fulcrum, Eclipse, Mini Crescent and Carousel with reflective surfaces within a dark space, creating an immersive and dazzling environment for visitors to experience.



"Every year Design Shanghai works with leading designers, creative studios and lifestyle brands to create numerous experiences including large-scale installations and design projects. This year, we have moved to a larger venue therefore have a bigger stage. The Special Features are meant to be a platform for the design community to exchange ideas and to foster collaborations so that we can contribute to the future of design with joint efforts."

- Zhuo Tan, Director of Design Shanghai
