From November 18 to December 15, 2022, Inspiration from the Roof of the World –Art Exhibition on Nomadic Ecological Culture was held in Wang Xiaohui Art Museum (Shanghai) for the first time. The art exhibition was jointly organized by furniture design brand MATSU and plateau brand LHAYAK, and Joeri Reynaert, a Belgian designer in China, was invited. It exhibited the association between Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the international metropolis, and the interconnection of traditional nomadic culture and modern design. They support each other and are integrated with each other. They are seemingly far away on the horizon, and yet right under our eyes. It seems that they are independent of each other, while they are closely linked with each other. A block of ice on the plateau may be transformed into a bottle of water in the city; the grassland on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau may generate a drop of rain in the cith through ecological cycle; the yaks living far away on the horizon nourish the nomads who preserve the source of life (Asian Water Tower) of city dwellers.

The art exhibition consisted of three exhibition areas: plateau ecology area and nomadic inspiration area on 1F and digital nomad area on 3F. The pioneering design of nomadic inspiration, the hand-knitted black tent with yak hair, the last block of ice on Dagu Glacier, and the yak herd living above the altitude of 3,500 meters were displayed in various forms such as original furniture, multimedia images, and nomadic ecologic devices, giving the audience an immersive experience of the lifestyle of urban nomads.
