:: in case you weren’t able to come by A Nice Set | Shanghai, the exhibition of international and Chinese designer slipmats, we’ve produced a short video of the opening night that you can check out below. If this video is loading slowly for you, try viewing it on Tudou or Youtube.

Special thanks again to our co-curators in making the event happen: Jellymon and We Are Plus; along with our sponsors and partners: Aerial7, Vedett, SOURCE, Supermarkart, IdN, AWE5OME, and Neocha. And a special shout-out to Mr. Tsang, who provided the beats and scratches at the party as well as the soundtrack for the video.
