100% Design Shanghai launched today and Core 77's correspondant, Simon Husslein, was on hand to catch a few snaps of the first official furniture and interiors show this city has seen. From June 26-28, the likes of Richard Hutten (check out that pink suit above!), Michael Young and Patrick Jouin will join creative directors Tobias Wong and Aric Chen in the Shanghai Exhibition Center to showcase design in one of the fastest developing parts of the world.
The piece de resistance is Wong and Chen's bamboo "void" (middle) that greets visitors upon entering the exhibit hall, symbolizing what Wong describes as a "void" of design in present-day Shanghai. "This is the beginning of a dialogue," he told us before launching the show, "It's time for Shanghai to address the design industry in a unique and modern way."
Stay tuned for more coverage coming soon!
