Design Shenzhen Leads You Into Gen Z’s Digital Nest

As one of the highlights of Design Shenzhen 2025, E-Space—initiated by Design Shenzhen in collaboration with multiple platforms—is dedicated to creating an immersive environment that seamlessly blends personalisation with diversity. Centred on the concept of a “nest”, it breaks the boundaries between technology and design, using a new spatial language to redefine how the younger generation lives, plays, and connects in the digital era.

The feature, conceived and designed by AS.studio, reimagines eSports as Gen Z’s journey to a new planet. Visitors move through low-pressure chambers resembling spacecraft wreckage, across cracked flooring and glowing energy lines, embarking on an immersive exploration that blurs the line between the virtual and the physical. Instead of loud displays and visual overload, E-Space creates an atmosphere that merges technological precision with human warmth—an experimental dialogue between science and sensibility.

Partnering with ROG, Hexcal, Nanoleaf, and Steelcase, E-Space presents a series of future-facing interiors including Single-Player Maximalist Gaming Room, Single-Player Minimalist Gaming Room, Multiplayer-themed Room, and Integrated Entertainment Room. Each environment showcases the evolving relationship between design, play, and lifestyle, allowing visitors to experience the limitless possibilities of future home gaming.

Whether it’s a 1㎡ desk setup or a 10㎡ personalised gaming space, E-Space offers every visitor their own digital sanctuary—a true “healing nest” for the next generation of creators and dreamers.
