Joy City’s famous rooftop Ferris wheel might be all hype, but the mall’s new building also has a strong lineup of indie design concepts. One of them is Zowoo, a carpentry workshop dressed in 50 shades of brown.
Scattered neatly around the shop are knick knacks made in a variety of wood: red cherry, white oak, red oak, black walnut, ash and maple.
This is the second outlet of the brand, which was founded by owner Chen Leiyu as a place to enjoy the experience of making something by hand. Compared to the original location in Baoshan, the Joy City Mall spot is much smaller, but no doubt a lot more convenient to get to.
The setup is also more suitable for woodworking beginners. Entry-level classes involve making small items such as bracelets and coasters (RMB128-268 per workshop).
Advanced carpenters can take on bigger guns like coffee tables and side cabinets (RMB368-1,580). All items made in the workshops are yours to keep, but you can also just purchase them right off the shelf.
See Zowoo listing here. Reservations for workshops can be made via Zowoo's official WeChat (zowoolife) or by phone.
