London Design Festival 2024

Studio YuYang offers a fresh perspective on New Chinese Aesthetics at London Design Festival exploring the balance between concealment and revelation as anarrative form. In today’s industrialised world, our connection to raw materials and craftsmanship is often overlooked. This exhibition challenges that, inviting viewers to see craft not just as a functional product but as animmersive, layered experience. Visitors are immersed in an intimate space where handmade textures, raw materials, unique designs and pure colours spark curiosity and reflection.
