Shanghai Film Museum wins the German Design Award

We are happy to report that our Shanghai Film Museum was chosen as the winner in the category Interior Design of the prestigious German Design Award 2015. The Film Museum, that was already awarded several times in Asia since its opening in 2013, has now also gained recognition abroad.

The aim of the German Design Award is to identify, present and honor unique design trends. Its organizer, the German Design Council, has been representing and supporting the German design industry for 60 years now. Prizes are awarded to top-quality products and projects from product and communication design, stemming from the German and international design landscape.

A judging panel of experts chose the Shanghai Film Museum as this year’s winner in the category Interior Design. The panel states:

“The Shanghai Film Museum is the first of its kind in Shanghai and enables visitors to actively immerse themselves in the world of film and consequently become part of Shanghai’s film industry. Visitors can experience how the Shanghai film industry came about in rooms that are excitingly and always differently designed, but can also delve into a fascinating world of glamour and stars. Amongst other things, the museum incorporates permanent and temporary exhibitions and has DIY workshops and a multifunctional event space. It also enables experts to pass on their knowledge to visitors and consequently creates a communicative atmosphere. A highly successful concept focussing on interaction and dialogue and which understands how to cleverly play with illusion.”
The prize and jury report will officially be released during an award ceremony in Frankfurt, in February 2015.
