Chinese Connections

26th May 2026

This season, Mint celebrates a new generation of Chinese designers whose practices explore craft, materiality, and cultural storytelling through ceramics, glass, textiles, and sculpture. Presented as part of CTRL Matter during London Craft Week 2026, the exhibition brings together works that bridge traditional techniques with contemporary experimentation.

Featured designers include HuiHui, Jingyi Li, Masao Rong, Zixuan Zhang, Xiangying Lei, and Jilin Wang, each approaching material and making through distinct perspectives shaped by heritage, innovation, and process.

Both Jingyi Li and Masao Rong were nominated for the 2026 House & Garden Craft Prize, presented at Sotheby’s Mayfair during London Craft Week.
