Our story

We begin with a conversation
and make complexity clear.

SATU Shanghai works with international companies, brands, developers, hospitality operators and private clients building their next chapter in China. Our team combines regional experience with local judgement and helps clients define the real problem early.

We bring brand strategy, planning, interior architecture, material, graphics, engineering coordination, cost and construction into one conversation. Design gains character and becomes easier to deliver.

Four working principles

Standards we apply
to every decision.

01

Clarity

Complex ambitions need decisions teams can share.

02

Context

Read Shanghai, the building, the brand and its people.

03

Care

Carry responsibility from concept through detail and handover.

04

Character

Every commission deserves its own answer.

An international design company.
A Shanghai conversation.

SATU is an international multidisciplinary design company established in 2011. Our Shanghai practice connects interiors, brand experience and delivery for businesses, hospitality operators and private clients across China. Discover the wider practice at SATU Design ↗.

A private client may begin with a collection and a family routine. A hotel operator may begin with service and occupancy. A brand may begin with an audience it wants to reach. We bring the right questions to each conversation, then make the design specific to its people and place.

A few useful answers

Is SATU Shanghai connected to SATU Design?

Yes. SATU is an international multidisciplinary design company established in 2011. The Shanghai website presents its interior design services for the city and wider China market, with a direct link to the official SATU Design practice.

Can you support international clients working in China?

We can coordinate English and Chinese project communication and help align decision-making across client teams. SATU’s international practice connects multidisciplinary expertise with the needs of the local brief.

What should I look for when choosing a design firm?

Look for a relevant portfolio, a clear scope, a named communication process and an explanation of how design decisions reach site. Ask how changes, quality reviews and budget information are handled.

Will the design be specific to our brief?

The starting point is your use, audience and existing space. We develop a direction with you through planning, material and lighting decisions instead of applying a preset style to every commission.

Your place. Your next chapter.
