Volvo has just opened a new design studio in Shanghai, China, which will join the existing studios it already has in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Camarillo, California.
The automaker notes that the new Design Studio Shanghai mirrors its design headquarters in Sweden and can handle the entire process of taking a vehicle from concept to production. It includes capabilities to produce full-size models of a vehicle’s interior and exterior while incorporating advanced milling machines, 3D printers and dedicated workshops.
This new studio spans 5,500 square meters including a 1,000 square meter showroom with the perfect lighting to view new designs. Volvo has also established an outdoor viewing garden on site. Meanwhile, the interior of the design studio has a clean, bright finish that the company says will help “ignite the kind of inspiration that can help push the boundaries of how we design cars.”

“Our design team in Shanghai is a crucial and integrated part of our global design network,” said Volvo’s head of global design Jeremy Offer. “The new facilities and the latest technologies help strengthen the collaboration between our three global design studios as we continue to take Volvo Cars’ premium Scandinavian design to the next level.”
Volvo established its Shanghai design team in 2010 and before completing this new location, the team led the design of the Volvo EX90 Excellence. This new model will serve as the flagship version of the all-electric EX90 and was recently unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show. It’s also the safest four-seater Volvo Cars has ever built.
“The Volvo EX90 Excellence is a fantastic example of the rapidly growing capabilities and competence of our design team in Shanghai,” said Sophie Li, Volvo’s head of design for the Asia Pacific region. “With the goal of bringing premium Scandinavian design to our customers in Asia Pacific, our team draws inspiration from both Scandinavian nature and Asian art to ensure our products appeal and resonate with consumers across these markets.”
