Last year, Chi Wing Lo’s bamboo forest, Shen Bahong’s courtyard, and Zhu Hui’s miniature architecture are still fresh in our minds, and we are looking forward to what kind of poetry and images they will bring this year.

And, almost all of the brands will exclusively launch their latest design concepts and achievements here.

2022.09.05 ———— Forum  |  “Design Without Boundaries, East Meets West”Theme Salon

   

At a time when the civilizations of East and West and the characteristics of ancient and modern cultures meet, a salon on the theme of “Design without Boundaries, Integration of East and West”, organized by Z Media and CIFF Shanghai, wrote a vivid footnote for the discussion of international oriental design.

In the opinion of Femo Wong, the founder & design director of Femo Design, a post-90s emerging designer who has a collection of more than a thousand original designs from home and abroad, design is a very international language, and there is no need to forcefully attach symbols to it. The influence of oriental prospect, culture and aesthetic views on Chinese people is subtle, so the treatment of design can also be integrated, rather than being confined to certain geographical and stylistic categories.

As Zhao Wangke, the curator of China International Furniture Fair(Shanghai) and China International Building Decoration Fair (Shanghai) said, “Chinese people must be able to tell our own stories. Although for various reasons, the exhibition has been postponed or held online in the past two years, the two exhibition has never given up its insistence on design and originality. In the future, we hope to always contribute to the heritage of culture, so that more good Chinese products and brands can be seen by the world.”

2022.08.30 ———— Exchange  |  “Floating Life Set” Design Workshop

What is the Floating Life Collection?

Why do people gather at Shantang Street?

And what is the design work camp all about?

The old city, the young designers, Z Media who has visited here many times for Suzhou International Design Week, and our longtime friend Xiao Yan and Suzhou Haoduanzheng Culture. What is this group of people brewing?

When the “mysterious mission” was given, everyone was excited. Everyone was curious about what interesting stories would happen when they arrived in the name of design, and they were looking forward to the possibility of being inextricably linked to this place by design.

The moment we stepped onto the flagstone path, everything slowed down.

The old street of Suzhou, an ancient courtyard, is chanting the contemporary expression of classical Chinese garden life amidst the light of the times and the elaboration of ingenuity.

An innovative use of cultural IP and a public welfare activity while renewing the ancient house will usher in the vivid reproduction of history and the sparkling rebirth of tradition in the golden autumn.

2022.07.18 ————Curador  |  The second term D2M Lab

 

D2M Lab (Designers to Manufacturers Lab) is a global design trading platform initiated by Femo Wong, the founder and design director of Femo Design Studio.

This year, CIFF (Guangzhou) continues to launch the D2M Lab section in the hope that in the new production and market environment, from the design to the manufacture, they can understand and collaborate with each other more clearly without the “telescope”. The designs exhibited by Cometabolism Studio in the offline exhibition of the D2M Lab in 2021, were selected by Wang Yu, who is the founder of Galley ALL. Many of the studio’s new designs can now be seen at Galley ALL’s exhibition. This has given the initiator, Femo Wong, a deep sense of the significance of this platform, which enables resources to be effectively matched and value to be shared.

Design Bazaar, Original Design Exhibition and Design Forum are the three main parts of D2M Lab. There are 50 design bazaars, divided into online and offline modes, with the addition of several architects. The exhibition area was designed by JSD Chongqing.

2022.07.08 ———— Exhibition  |  INTERNI “Between Illusion And Reality” Design Theme Exhibition

During July 8-11, 2022, INTERNI sustainable design theme exhibition “Between Illusion And Reality” will officially meet with the public. The exhibition is co-organized by China International Building Decoration Fair(Guangzhou) and INTERNI, and consists of three sections: international classic architecture, contemporary art installations and young emerging forces, showing the new breakthroughs in architecture, art and design under the guidance of the concept of sustainable development and the new heights reached in the “beauty of illusion and reality”.   
The traditional architecture and art of the beauty of the illusion and reality are mostly focused on the modelling, forming an interaction between the “illusive space” and the “real subject”, making the viewer feel the beauty of the ethereal with the purity of geometry and the openness of space. It also allows people to experience the aesthetic spirit while experiencing a more profound meaning.

In contemporary times, people from all walks of life are constantly exploring sustainable development topics such as energy consumption reduction, space utilization, material recycling, intelligent systems, cultural rejuvenation, passive energy strategies, and reduction of carbon printing in the production process…… Architects, designers, and artists have gained more knowledge and enlightenment, constantly enriching and surpassing the meaning of the “beauty of illusion and reality”, creating more classic works.

We marvel at the belief and power of the creators: if “illusion” is the magnificent imagination of the human home and the groundbreaking solutions to major human issues, “reality” is the continuous exploration of cutting-edge technologies, materials and structures and their applications. The pioneers are constantly reaping the surprises of both thoughts and practice.

2020.11.26 ———— Curador  |  Emerging Chinese Designer 2020

The “China Emerging Chinese Designer” launched by AD and the design event “ Design Shanghai ” is celebrating its 6th edition. From the hundreds of applications, we have discovered the increasingly rich and diversified aspects of China’s young design power. After careful selection by the jury, the top 10 of “ China Emerging Chinese Designer 2020 ” were finally born!

When the home furnishing market tends to be saturated, the design focusing on the “ first look ” will only be fleeting; when artificial intelligence penetrates the traditional styling design, standing at the starting point of 2020, we try to ask: what is the role of future designers? Some people go deep into the manufacturing process, exploring new possibilities of traditional processes and materials; some people invest in new technologies, allowing engineering and technology to blossom through emotional design…… They no longer chase dogmatic standard answers, and grow their own design models in the new world culture. Their design faces are new, profound and long-term.

2020.10.18 ———— Curador  |  Watching vicissitudes of life while sitting on a chair

Inside most of us, there has a chair which is ” full of ideals and warmth “, it can be large or small, tangible and intangible. Chair for human beings is an indispensable living appliance, which plays an irreplaceable role in both work and life.

In ancient times in the West, the chair was regarded as a luxury, only the nobility can have, until the nineteenth century, the chair into the ordinary family. In China, the name ” chair ” first appeared in the Tang Dynasty. At that time,the Han people footstool or high back chair were more common, the name of the chair has appeared, but not yet completely separated from the concept of the bed.

As the hopes that humans place on their lives change, chair types are also evolving, the chairs produced by designers, from the appearance to the body, from practicality, beauty to durability have been a rapid change. The changes of time take away the anonymous, leaving behind the classic and eternity.

Time flies. The world is changing, only the person having a dream can sit while watching vicissitudes of life, not pleased by external gains, not saddened by personal losses. May each person’s heart has a ” chair ” of their own, which can withstand the storms of life, sit and enjoy the comfortable ” chair “, both to warm themselves and others.

2018.01.07 ———— Exhibition  |  Five Senses Awakening

On January 7, 2018, ” Five Senses Awakening “, a group exhibition gathering more than 30 emerging Chinese designers, will open at the teamLab Borderless in Zhuhai, just two hours away from Shenzhen. The exhibition includes six sections: furniture, products, jewelry, vessels, sculpture decoration , and media, attempting to develop a relatively independent design system in the context of contemporary Chinese society, from the comprehensive concept of ” design “.

It is true that the ” design ” we are talking about today is an imported goods, originating from the West in the early 20th century. ” The shift from traditional applied art to modern design marked a break with tradition and a radical paradigm shift. ” Art historian Boris Groys sharply pointed out that this ” paradigm shift ” is often overlooked. Instead, ” design is often understood as an epiphany about the omnipresent market, exchange value, commodity fetishism, landscape society – because it creates a seductive surface behind which things themselves become not only invisible, but disappear altogether. “
