Listen "Stainless steel: the new interior design star?"
Episode Synopsis
Move over, minimalism—there's a new aesthetic taking over Chinese homes, and it's steel cold. Dubbed “Prison-core,” the trend embraces stainless steel everything—walls, shelves, even furniture—channeling stark, industrial vibes straight out of a professional kitchen. Sleek, ultra-modern, and effortlessly low-maintenance, it's a hit with young urbanites. So why are millennials and Gen Z trading warm woods for cellblock chic? / Heart to Heart - please send your audio questions to [email protected] (18:46). On the show: Heyang, Steve Hatherly & Ding Heng
