Studio MVW has been evolving for 15 years in the heart of the Shanghai megalopolis, which is experiencing tremendous growth as an economic and financial capital, while increasingly positioning itself as the Asian hub for the art and collectible design market. By breathing a welcome breath of renewal on this very dynamic territory, characterised by the creation of exclusive projects in the retail and hospitality sectors as well as in art and design furniture, the Franco-Chinese duo of architect Virginie Moriette and designer Ming Xu has forged a strong and recognised identity in which an elegant signature nourishes a spirit merging East and West. The common thread: the combination of nature and culture that irrigates the various projects, and in particular the design of spaces affirming a strong sense of proportion and a sharp balance between light, well-being and sustainability.
