“Shanghai Design Pins📍” is, first and foremost, a WeChat group created to share recommendations of design-related spots or happenings in Shanghai. Whether it’s shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, architecture, or even events, if it’s stylish and cool, we celebrate it.
This page is a simple (and selective) archive of spots that have been shared in the group. To be added to the group, contact me.
