The Design Shanghai Picks celebrate the most outstanding creative expressions presented at the show each year. Selected by an invited panel of leading designers, keynote speakers, and media representatives participating in Design Shanghai, the Picks highlight works and installations that embody the exhibition’s spirit at its highest level.
More than a simple accolade, the Design Shanghai Picks serve as a curated lens through which we recognise projects that push the boundaries of contemporary design—whether through breakthrough innovation, exceptional craftsmanship, artistic integrity, material intelligence, or forward-looking concepts that engage thoughtfully with both culture and technology.
The selection also acknowledges exhibitors who demonstrate remarkable dedication to spatial experience, from imaginative booth design to immersive storytelling on site. Together, these chosen works present a snapshot of the most progressive, refined and culturally resonant ideas shaping the design landscape today, reflecting the dialogue between tradition and the future that sits at the heart of Design Shanghai.
