ON the first weekend of every month in the OCT T-street, Nanshan District, an Idea Mart opens a platform for designers to exhibit their original works.

Designers use their talents to create useful products, be it gadgets or ornaments, and bring them to the T-street where they can exchange ideas with peers and seek business opportunities.

Aimed at introducing originality, peculiarity, environmental friendliness, art and interactive fun to daily life, the Idea Mart exhibits and offers handicrafts and personal collections. It enables participants who wouldn’t normally have a platform to introduce their products to a receptive audience.

Anybody is welcome to attend.

Since its inception in 2008, the T-street has reinforced the status of OCT LOFT as a hub of creativity. (Zhao Jie)
