Michael Young's cafe and bar opened in Shanghai this week. In partnership with Dezeen and Design Shanghai, Michael Young's design came to life a the 2021 edition of the trade show.
Located at booth K207 in Hall 2 at Design Shanghai 2021, the modern space features industrial stylistic aspects and gray corrugated walls. Splashes of color highlight the space's uniqueness throughout. In addition, the cafe and bar are furnished with pieces from Michael Young's own furniture design portfolio, which will be in production later in the year.
The concept for the space is loosely based on a bar Young created last year. The cafe and bar are mainly being used to launch Young's new beverage brand, Beer Buddy, which features a QR code to entice mingling.
