突破设计与科技边界 第二届“设计深圳”举行

The 2nd edition of Design Shenzhen, a new design event from the influential Design Shanghai exhibition, took place from March 21 to 24 at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in Futian District, taking visitors on an exhilarating journey into the world of design innovation and technological integration.

3月21日至24日，第二届“设计深圳”在深圳会展中心举办，带领设计界人士和公众一起探索设计创新与技术融合的可能性。

Themed “the Fusion of Design and Technology,” the four-day event showcased cutting-edge design brands and innovative products from China and abroad. Collaborating with renowned designers, architects, and artists, the exhibition delved deep into the forefront of design industry trends, echoing the dynamic spirit of Shenzhen, a UNESCO Creative City of Design.

本届设计深圳围绕“设计与科技的魅力交融”，向公众展示国内外知名的设计品牌和革命性的前瞻产品，并携手知名设计师、建筑师、艺术家，共同探讨设计产业前沿趋势，一起见证“设计之都”深圳的活力与创新。

An exhibition highlight was “Good Design Select,” curated by Shi Xiaoxi. It featured the Meizu 20 INFINITY smartphone, a Chinese design that won a Good Design Award in 2023. Through the theme of “Why is this Good Design,” the exhibition meticulously examined the concepts, culture, materials, engineering, craftsmanship, form, process, color, production, and technology involved in its production.

本届展会一大亮点是由知名工业设计师时晓曦策展的“Good Design Select”设计活动，甄选了2023年获得 G-Mark大奖的代表性中国区设计——MEIZU 20 INFINITY，通过主题“ #这个设计为什么好”，从理念、文化、材料、工程、工艺、形态、过程、色彩、生产、品牌愿景等多元角度让中国观众可以近距离感受到获得世界大奖的中国设计是如何诞生的。
