"Design Shanghai" Event Director, Zhuo Tan stated: "Entering its thirteenth year, we have come to realize that the value of design lies not in grand narratives, but in whether it truly resonates with people and brings more comfortable and inclusive life experiences. In this fast-paced urban environment, we hope to explore with everyone a lifestyle that is more refined, warm, and in harmony with nature, while continuing to propel Chinese design onto a broader stage. Next March, as spring blossoms, we look forward to witnessing together the beautiful transformations brought by design."
As spring approaches, we look forward to welcoming you to Design Shanghai 2026 and embarking together on a renewed journey of creativity and imagination.
