A collection of some favourite pieces collected over the last year of Shanghai Sharing. A selected range of items carefully packaged with Chinese printed-paper, natural and degradable packaging, and including a notebook that shares the stories of the makers behind the product.

Set-up by designer Pascale Pinxt after moving to Shanghai in 2018, the project started as a diary of carefully selected items discovered, designed and made during her explorations in China. This is a showcase of the interesting and often overlooked beauty of Chinese crafts and traditional products. Made bespoke or ordered directly from a local maker each piece tells a story and has a unique place in the modern home.
