Nevo Collection
品牌：A-EMOTIONAL LIGHT
设计师:Arturo Alvarez
The Nevo Collection is one of a collection of chandeliers designed by Arturo Alvarez. More than any other series, this series exemplifies the extreme ductility of painted stainless steel mesh.
Nevo's unrepeatable, organic shapes and its hand-crafted curves make each lamp unique and different from the rest. Their volumes seem to be alive, in constant evolution and movement, both in their shape and in the folds with which light travels. This is one of the brand's most extensive collections, including chandeliers, table lamps, wall lamps, and cascading combinations.

Thin as "paper wings"
Brand: Anan Paper Art
Designer: Anan
Anan Paper Art took an "environmentally friendly renewable paper" as the main body, focusing on the public welfare exhibition of "endangered birds" in the public eye, so that people's eyes once again paid attention to the earth we live on and other species that share the same fate with us.
The Endangered Birds series is one of the most representative works of Anan paper art, which traces its roots, inherits the theme of flowers and birds in traditional Chinese culture, and integrates contemporary paper art techniques on the basis of inheritance to create a new style.

assistance
品牌：Burgeree
Designer: Zuo Hongyun
The design may be inspired by the wings of birds in nature, pursuing the elegance and movement of form. Wing-shaped products should be visually light and layered, mimicking the arrangement and structure of feathers, using PET as a recyclable material to emphasize the product's environmental attributes and reduce its environmental impact, while being designed with the product's life cycle in mind to ensure that it can be easily recycled and reused at the end of use. The product characteristics themselves have a sound-absorbing effect, which increases the interest and practicality of the product, and can bring users a pleasant feeling both visually and practically.

Pam series
Brand: made of salt lacquer
Designers: Liu Han, Liu Shuai
As Mr. Wu Guanzhong said, the black of the lacquer and the white of the rice paper are both extremely beautiful, the deep lacquer on the outside symbolizes depth and calm, and the plain hair on the inside is a representative of elegance and purity. This hazy and subtle interweaving is the inner charm contained in the "shadows" - quiet and vague, restrained and moving.
Raw lacquer flows on the rice paper, turning into a tough shield, guarding this fragile and warm treasure, after the shade of the lacquer, giving the rice paper a strong strength, so that this thin paper can also resist water and fire, this double texture not only gives the cup a unique visual and tactile experience, but also implies many unspeakable emotions and thoughts in life, different levels of integration and balance.

Exquisite, not exquisite
Brand: Da Rui Mu Mei
Designer: Chen Darui
There is the meaning of exquisite, and there is indeed no delicate body, so it is called exquisite. This work is an extension of Chen's 2018 X Series, which magnifies one of the most important metal parts of the X Series by a factor of 12.5 and is molded with the help of a transparent resin pouring process. The X series was born from the concept, combining digitalization, industrialization, and localization. It is a new exploration of the ways in which contemporary art may be created in the future. The X-series is composed of links, which are constantly combined with the subjective feelings of the author at different times to form endless forms of expression.

Greeting
Shanghainese
Brand: FAS
设计师：ALEXANDRE CHARY
"sǎng hä ning" ("Shanghainese" in the local dialect) is a feeling of reverence for Shanghai.
What I love about this city is a mix of international and local cultures. She ushered in the world and absorbed various cultures, but she was deeply rooted in Jiangnan culture.
In "sǎng hä ning", we search for the rhyme of the tongue and tenon and tenon, while exploring a different aesthetic realm through the comfort of the seats.

瓦灯 Tile light

Wai Linlang
Designer: Wu Junjie
The "Wei Linlang" series is an exploration of the possibility of combining modern industrial materials with traditional handicrafts. After doing a certain amount of research on the traditional handicraft cloisonné enamel, the designer found out the process characteristics of its "copper as the fetus, thousands of filaments into flowers, and painted glass", in which "thousands of filaments into flowers" refers to the craftsmen spend a lot of time and energy to bend the copper wire into thousands of shapes, and combine rich patterns and patterns to obtain the gorgeous surface effect of cloisonné enamel.
Most of the modern industrial materials have the characteristics of high production efficiency and low cost, and designers hope to be able to combine the two to improve production efficiency while retaining the characteristics of cloisonné enamel as much as possible.
