Shortlisted for Dezeen Awards China 2025 Rising Star of the year, Shenyang-based design studio Baicai design.
Founded by Kaiwen Zhao in 2020, Baicai Design offers design services encompassing interior remodeling, spatial creation, exhibitions, branding, and more. Design is the spark of thought; art is the thought that sparks. Where they converge lies the science of problem-solving. Good or bad, beautiful or ugly—these are subjective. Yet by creating functional solutions and imbuing spaces with meaning, they strive to achieve what's envisioned.

Recent projects include Wuxing Miaoyou in Yangzhou and Fatface Coffee Store in Shenyang.

This studio has been shortlisted in the Rising Star of the year category of Dezeen Awards China 2025 .
