Design Republic

Design Republic is the flagship store of creative architectural duo Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu, who also run the hip Shanghai architectural and design firm Neri&Hu. The space does not disappoint, but even better are the home and design collections featuring a well-edited mix of local and foreign brands. Design-interested visitors should come to see some of the most inventive products and furniture produced by China’s hottest up-and-coming designers. Located in the trendy Jing'An district, in a red-brick building that used to house a police station, Design Republic shares a space with uber-cool restuarant the Commune Social.
