Editor Yoko Choy On Design In China and Cultural Exchange
Episode Summary:
In this episode we meet Wallpaper's China editor Yoko Choy, who speaks about the consequences of Covid-19 in the design industry and business, the most recent promising projects oriented towards social well-being and the importance of collaboration. In the multi-faceted reality in China, Yoko expresses her vision on contemporary design, still in flux but yet to be shaped in a more environmentally sustainable direction by the young creative generation. As a multicultural creative she tries to translate the knowledge and insides from both worlds into a common language, meanwhile raising awareness of the importance of cross-cultural exchange.

Currently based in Amsterdam, Hong Kong-born Yoko Choy is an acclaimed design and lifestyle journalist and the China Editor for Wallpaper* magazine, as well as a writer for Chinese and international publications including Hong Kong Economic Journal and the online platform Dezeen. Yoko is also a co-founder of Collective Contemporist creative consultancy. She has worked for Art Basel on its launch in Hong Kong, curated exhibitions for Dover Street Market in Beijing, managed Beijing Design Week’s international communications activities and represented MARIOTESTINO+ in Asia.
