Livewellwell Design Weekend is a playground that weaves together design, life, and culture as its curatorial threads. It connects spaces across Shanghai’s Jing’an District, linking exhibitions, brand showrooms, social events, retail shops, open studio visits, dining experiences, craft workshops, talks and lectures, urban treasure hunts, and live performances into a vibrant and multifaceted celebration.
We aim to spark new vitality in the neighborhood and foster fresh connections and resonance between people through genuine participation and cross-disciplinary dialogue.
Here, life itself becomes a site of creation, and the community is our shared stage.
