Shanghai's design enthusiasts have been urged to slow down and rediscover the beauty of the dining table at a new exhibition on Wuyuan Road.

The Art of Everyday Dining, presented by Korean design brand Peltro Studio at Liangmu House, brings together traditional pewter craftsmanship and contemporary Asian design in a celebration of daily rituals around food.

The exhibition centers on a dialog between pewter, porcelain and glass. Peltro Studio reinterprets European pewter-making traditions that graced dining tables for centuries through a contemporary Korean design lens. Thai artisans who have worked with pewter for decades complete each piece.

Pewter is not merely a material but a culture in itself. A warmth of texture distinct from the elegance of silver, a surface whose beauty deepens with use, and a history rooted in a long-cherished dining culture.

Each piece begins with an artisan's wax carving before being brought to completion through casting, polishing, and finishing – a process that bridges European heritage, Korean sensibility, and Thai craftsmanship in a single object.

Liangmu House is a three-story traditional Shanghai lane house, which is dedicated to objects for everyday living. It brings together contemporary design, exhibitions, and experiences centered around tea, coffee, and dining – making it a fitting backdrop for Peltro Studio's exploration of how traditional craftsmanship can find new relevance in contemporary life.

The two brands create a quiet conversation between materials, cultures, and everyday traditions – one that feels especially resonant in a city where old and new constantly meet.
