The hobby and craft industry has grown rapidly and expansively in China in recent years. As a result, an increasing number of shopping centres feature hobby & crafts products and materials. Joy City in Shanghai and Eslite in Suzhou are among these shopping destinations. Joy City has two levels of its 9-storey centre specifically catering to stores focusing on handicraft workshops and materials such as leather making, custom-made albums, plant terrarium, metal works and many other crafts.
The Oriental Culture zone is showcased within Paperworld China as a means to show the nuances of this ancient civilisation’s art and methods. The zone also aims to connect museums, designers and manufacturers to work together on projects for cultural preservation. This concept is not only for Chinese culture, but also for other Asian countries with unique cultural craftsmanship.
