“设计师最核心的价值就是他的独立性”，这是“晒上海”的发起精神。每年集合上海不同领域的一线设计师，做完全主观的独立的设计实践，最终以“实物”的形式呈现，我们会称这个“实物”为“产品”，但是“产品”的定义因人而异。当然其意义并不是在个人渲泄和表达上，而是有期许的实验设计集体行为。“The core value of a designer lies in his/her independence”, which is the originating spirit of “Shine Shanghai”. Every year, top-ranked designers from various fields at Shanghai are gathered together to conduct completely subjective and independent design researches with specified materials and theme, and finally present their results in the form of “entity”, which will be named as “product”.
