This touring exhibition aims to delve deep into today’s most forward-thinking design trends, inspire cross-disciplinary innovative thinking, and promote international design dialogue. The award-winning works, with their unique perspectives and cutting-edge technological applications, demonstrate the application potential of design across various social levels. From everyday consumer products to digital interactive interfaces, design is gradually becoming a crucial bridge connecting technology and humanities.
