)
On 8th January, Design Shanghai, Asia's leading international design event, successfully held a press conference to announce that the 12th edition will take place from 4th to 7th June 2025 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Centre.
Twelve years ago, the inaugural Design Shanghai was launched with the mission of bridging cultural differences between Eastern and Western design. Since then, the event has attracted over 2,600 design brands and more than 640,000 professional attendees from around the world, witnessing the growth and integration of Chinese design power.
Design Shanghai 2025 will showcase cutting-edge design concepts through four key sections: Furniture & Lighting Design, Kitchen, Bathroom & Systems Design, New Materials & Applications, and Living & Lifestyle Design. Over 600 design masterpieces from more than 30 countries and regions will be on display. Seven special features—TALENTS, Neooold, Re: Materialize, Made in JDZ, Beyond Craft Japan, Collectible Design & Art, and Materials First—will complement the event, alongside three major conferences: the Design Shanghai ·Global Design Conference, Design for Wellbeing Conference, and CMF Conference. The event is expected to attract over 80,000 professional visitors and offer an immersive experience of design’s power and allure.
Ms. Tan Zhuo, Managing Director of Clarion Events Ltd, Event Director of Shanghai, shared at the press conference: "Over the past 12 years, Design Shanghai has grown while remaining youthful at heart, consistently embracing ever-evolving challenges with unwavering commitment. At the same time, we stay true to our original mission of being a bridge for East-West design exchange. This year, we will place greater emphasis on human-centred design, making the exhibition more personal and meaningful, and exploring—and perhaps even reaching a consensus on—a fundamental question: Through design, where are we heading, and how should we act? We look forward to a truly memorable gathering this June."
