On April 18, 2015, the Shanghai Museum of Glass kicks off its year program with the second edition of the successful design exhibition Keep it Glassy. Keep it Glassy, a concept developed and co-curated by COORDINATION ASIA, focuses on glass design. It brings international talent to Shanghai and explores the many ways in which glass inspires designers. This edition of Keep it Glassy will zoom in on how design studios such as Nendo, MVRDV, Dominic Wilcox, Kacper Hamilton and Studio Formafantasma express their hopes and dreams for a better future, using this versatile material.
 
For Keep it Glassy 2, the conscious choice was made to focus on displaying concepts or projects, instead of mere objects in glass. The intriguing stories and smart strategies that hide beyond the surface of the design pieces show that designers make use of the specific traits of glass to shape their ideas for a better future. In the exhibition, four rooms highlight four different angles that can be taken when envisioning the future, through glass: Adornment, Sustainability, Innovation and Preservation.
