Contemporary Design The Contemporary Design Hall assembles the very best design houses from across the globe. This hall is a hub of creative contemporary talent with a vast selection of companies from leading high-end design brands and independent specialists. This offers an invaluable opportunity for international brands to engage with China s most influential and highly regarded architects, designers and private buyers. We decided to attend Design Shanghai because we believe that this is a new and significant emerging market and that there is major interest in China for Italian design companies like Moroso. I think this is related to our history, our craftsmanship and a strong international affinity for the brand. This fair represents a unique chance to promote Moroso in this region of the world, an ideal platform to show our products and a strong brandbuilding environment as a result of the major media exposure. Patrizia Moroso, Art Director at Moroso

Lee Broom, Founder and Designer of Lee Broom Design In Design Shanghai, there is a variety of work being exposed by international companies which is really good for the fair, as well as some very new talent coming up.

Classic Design China s desire for merging Western design with Eastern heritage has grown significantly. This hall caters for the high demand shown in bringing those Western traditions celebrated all over the world. My favourite thing about Design Shanghai is how busy the show is. It is so exciting that so many people from all over China have come here, and are so excited to see new brands and new products. Richard Brendon
