Color, materials, and finishes (CMF) play a crucial role in design. This year, Design Shanghai is launching the CMF Conference at Hall 4, where global CMF industry experts and designers will discuss the theme "The Source of Design Inspiration: CMF Aesthetics." They will share cutting-edge industry trends and guide us through the intricacies of Eastern and Western CMF design aesthetics in the realms of interior, architectural, and industrial design, allowing us to experience the fusion of tradition and modernity.
