Shanghai Tang unveils one of the most exciting collaborations for the brand’s Silver Jubilee this year – the XU BING for SHANGHAI TANG collection – a celebration of 25 years of heritage and a new milestone in Chinese art and design.
Designed by Xu Bing

For this highly anticipated collaboration, Xu Bing created an exclusive artwork ‘Shanghai Tang – Created by Chinese’, which portrays this captioned brand vision in six Square Word Calligraphy characters. Xu Bing’s ground-breaking Square Word Calligraphy is an ingenious code-like system for rendering English to resemble Chinese characters invented in 1994, the same year Shanghai Tang was born, making this cross-disciplinary project a serendipitous joint 25th anniversary celebration.
