莫娇

Associate Professor

Director of Material Application and Design Lab

Founder of Mosmode furniture

MO Jiao has over 20 years of experience in various design areas, including interior, furniture, production, and exhibition. She has been actively involved in design education at Tongji University since 2006. Her expertise ranges from material-driven design to service-oriented design, employing effective and innovative strategies and methodologies. The principles of her design are to enrich the user experience, improve people’s quality of life, and embrace sustainable resources.

In 2016, she established the Material Application and Design Lab (MA&D) in the College of Design and Innovation. The purpose of MA&D is to explore, experiment, and demonstrate many applications of unique materials and emerging technology used in the design. Today, MA&D has evolved from a vague idea to an entity with a clear vision. It has helped transform the design from concept to concrete prototype, serves students and faculty in course studies and research projects.

She is actively involved in international design exchanges. She curated several influenced exhibitions in national museum and biennale and authored books, papers and owns several patents of design. Her Louis XV Wine Rack design piece has been exhibited and collected by museums and private collectors.
