This year, Elite has taken the decisive step of bringing its artisanally-produced beds made in Aubonne to Chinese clients on the other side of the world.
Located in the heart of Shanghai in the lively Huangpu district, the new Elite Gallery Shanghai is close to the Bund and the range of international brands to be found there. The 200-square-metre sales area is both distinguished and welcoming, a peaceful refuge dedicated to sleep and wellbeing amid the bustling Chinese megacity and international financial capital. Elegance and comfort are of course everywhere to be seen, ensuring visitors enjoy a unique experience guided by the leading specialists in getting a good night’s sleep.
The 2025 Elite Design Awards winners are four women: Weronika Poręba from Poland (first prize), Clothilde Verdim from France (second prize) and British designer partners Rachel Forster and Ella Doran (third prize). Hailing from Mrocza, Paris and London respectively, the winners have come up with three outstanding bed designs, each offering their own take on this year’s theme of Arts and Crafts, a style that emerged in the nineteenth century seeking to honour craftsmanship rather than industrialisation.
