About

The China Design Studio Index is a side project by ĀRVAM Studio.

Originally conceived as a spreadsheet by the studio's founder during a search to commission a local design studio, it has since evolved into a public resource. The aim is to showcase and celebrate the diverse talents and creative studios across Mainland China, spanning various disciplines.

The list includes several types of studios, and is by no means comprehensive nor complete. It is a work in progress. 🚧

In essence, the goal of the Index is to amplify the visibility of Chinese creativity, inspire new designers, stimulate new ideas and inspiration, and facilitate connections within the global design community.
