CHOPSTICKS 筷


TIME:

“CHOPSTICKS 筷” begins with a pair of everyday chopsticks, re-examining this seemingly simple object whose form has remained almost unchanged, yet carries a complex history of cultural experience.

From its early forms in Neolithic China to its spread across the Korean Peninsula, Japan and the wider world, the chopstick has been continually redesigned in response to different eating habits, dining rituals and social environments. Variations in length, material, cross-section and placement across China, Japan and Korea also reflect their distinctive ways of life and cultural memories.

The exhibition brings together 16 groups of creators from China, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Italy and Belgium. Approaching the chopstick through gestures of use, materials, structures, tactility, etiquette and accessibility, the designers treat it not as a static symbol of Eastern culture, but as a design archetype that remains open to deconstruction, questioning and reinvention.

The second edition of MANIFESTO Fair, titled “SENSES IN SYNC,” took place from September 28 to October 15, 2025, across two venues: Chenfeng Fashion Creative Park and XC273 in Shanghai. Bringing together more than 60 international and local brands spanning design, furniture, fashion, and contemporary lifestyle, the fair took bodily perception as its point of departure, interweaving sight, touch, sound, smell, and taste across exhibitions, retail spaces, installations, and events.

Rather than treating design as a collection of isolated objects, this edition approached it as an evolving sensory relationship. Design icons and emerging voices, international brands and local practices, industrial production and craftsmanship were brought together within a shared environment. Through curated group exhibitions, brand presentations, sound art, food design, floral installations, and modular display systems, MANIFESTO Fair created an open and fluid design experiment shaped through active bodily participation.

The first edition of MANIFESTO Fair, titled “FLAIR IN FOCUS,” took the creative practices of fashion, furniture, and contemporary lifestyle as its point of departure. Bringing together international and local brands, designers, artists, and independent publishers, the fair explored the diverse relationships between design, art, craftsmanship, and commerce.

Scaffolding served as the exhibition’s central spatial language. Its adaptable industrial structure connected brand presentations, iconic furniture, art installations, a design library, workshops, and culinary experiences. Working with their own materials, techniques, and modes of expression, participating creatives maintained their distinct identities while collectively shaping an open and continuously evolving design environment.

MANIFESTO Fair thus became a shared canvas for creation—bringing established brands into dialogue with emerging voices, moving design beyond the display of objects and into the lived contexts of culture, everyday life, and exchange, while offering a platform for overlooked creative practices to be seen, heard, and carried forward.
