Design Shanghai was held at the Shanghai Exhibition Center from February 27 to March 2, 2014.

In spite of the wet weather, the venue was packed. The long queues for tickets, snaking from the courtyard to the annex building were a sight! There was even a queue to get into the main hall itself.

yaean design was there to see what the hype was all about. Many design houses from the UK, France and China, showcased their work. An impressive array of designs from furniture to home accessories to appliances was on show.

For us, one of the most notable events was the live model making demonstrations by Jaguar Land Rover who had a designer doing on-the-spot editing in Photoshop of car designs. Rather impressive seeing how designers in a different fields work.
