YDMD Studio is a creative studio with locations in both Shanghai and London, founded by Chong Shi, Min Zhong, Meng Yang, and Ming Zhao in 2019. In 2021, Ke Bao joined the team as a new co-founder. Cultivating an ongoing exploration of materiality, technique, function and meaning, we investigate these notions through university education, curation and contemporary craft. Our practice focuses on experimental problem-solving intertwined with shaping new challenges. Our creative practice - always in dialogue with objects, is built on the admiration of all the whimsy and thoughtfulness that goes into creating them.
