In an interview, he claimed to have three residences around the world, but his favorite is his home in Shanghai. In this old community with a history of over 60 years, Aldo Cibic can not only talk about the future with young people, but also experience the true traditional Shanghai lifestyle.
Aldo Cibic always believes that the residence does not have to be large, as long as it meets the needs. Aldo's Shanghai residence is also a small house, but he designed it to be very warm and comfortable. From the use of colors, to the contours of the lines, to the choice of products for the home, his unique artistic taste and his profound design skills are reflected everywhere.

In the Shanghai residence of Aldo Cibic, the white Brionvega radio station in the center of the house attracts attention. As a classic product in the history of Italian design, Aldo has deliberately chosen to use it to create an Italian atmosphere for a home in a foreign land.
The Memphis Movement
The Memphis Movement is a famous design movement that began in the 1980s and is one of the internationally recognized representatives of postmodern design trends.
From the 1950s to the 1970s, minimalist and modernist structure and line styles were very well established. But Memphis thinking focused on "radical, funny and barbaric" and ignored the so-called "good taste" considerations of the time.
Memphis rebelled against inherent design concepts, focusing on decoration, individuality and the humanistic ideas of design, completely abandoning the colorless geometric shapes and functionalist Art Deco style. The pop art color and kitsch visual art of the 1950s inspired them. Unusual aesthetics.
