At Design Shenzhen 2025, Chris Lefteri curated Re:Materialize in collaboration with Róng Design Library—a journey into material aesthetics that goes beyond industrial foundations to reveal how materials carry emotion, culture, and storytelling.

In today’s fast-evolving world of technology and design, materials are more than industrial foundations — they carry emotions and culture. They hold the power to awaken senses, reshape experiences, and create new narratives.

At Design Shenzhen 2025 · Re:Materialize, inspired by the Róng Design Library 2025/26 Material Trend Report, we explore three themes — Fantasia Moments, Sensory Shelter, Recomposed Matter.
