TDH to design public space in Pantang, Guangzhou

Dragon boats are long rowing boats from the Chinese tradition, playing a very important role in the history of Pantang, an area of Canton with a rich social and cultural fabric: every year a dragon boat race returns as a cohesive ritual. Turin Design Hub started by listening to such collective history to propose an intervention to strengthen the public space of Pantang, through an outdoor installation that makes it a space of life and exchange, and hybrid furniture system that, like dragon boats do with their image, acts as a visual and cultural catalyst.
